I spend the majority of my time at a computer and drawing tablet working on projects that span months and in some cases years, so it was brilliant to get out and paint this by hand. The store is also gorgeous, and the staff are just so lovely so it was brilliant to spend the day there.

I was asked to create a cover that showed a landscape that wasn’t of one place in particular but felt Scottish. I created this imagined landscape based off of references and my experience of wandering through the Scottish countryside.

I really enjoyed reading this book. It’s an eccentric sort of a travel memoir that takes you on a journey exploring the moons meaning in numerous countries and through art, mysticism and literature.
