A Monster Calls
1 Comment | Posted by Andy Columbine on 31 Aug 11 in Animation, Books, Illustration
Following on from JK’s comments here, here are a few images taken from Patrick Ness’ new book ‘A Monster Calls’, illustrated by Jim Kay. Using a mixture of relief printing, black pen and ink, and various printed textures digitally pieced together, Jim has created a wonderfully dark atmosphere. I’d love to see the original works; I imagine the textures would really bring these images to life. There’s a lovely german trailer for the book, and you can see more of Jim’s illustration work.

The Power of Punctuation?!

Punctuation is not just a great friend of the copywriter and author. Designers and typographers have long valued the punctuation mark for its succinctness and beauty of form, bringing simplicity, clarity, homour and intelligence to design. This charming Print.Magazine gallery showcases a history of the question mark and exclamation mark in design through the years.

Down the rabbit hole…

As a taster for the next Creative Forum, here’s a wonderful painting from Jim Kay, an illustrator based in Edinburgh. His site shows more of his drawings, paintings and sketches which, in my opinion are pretty stunning. The next forum, hosted by Jim will be taking place on Friday 27th November at 8.30am, follow the Creative Forum twitter to keep abreast of latest news.
