Tilly's Moonlight Garden
Turine Tran has created this exceptional piece of art for the cover of Julia Green's book 'Tilly's Moonlight Garden'. Commissioned by Source Books in the US, Turine's brief was to create a modern version of The Secret Garden, with fantasy and mysticism. Turine says "The process was absolutely pleasant for both the client and
me. They approached with a clear reference of what they liked from my portfolio,
such as dreamy images, plants, flowers and colours. ...It was such a great pleasure to work with them and I do hope
we can work together again in the future". The UK version is out now, with this one being released towards the end of the year.

Cloudspotting for Beginners
'Cloudspotting
for Beginners' is an illustration completed by Steinar Lund for Country Life Magazine. Published last month, the piece is for an article on the types of
cloud we generally see in the UK, Steinar says "I
often walk in the English countryside at weekends and take photographs,
including clouds. Consequently
I had a lot of cloud photographs which helped in doing the image. Although
I was not previously aware of the technical names of clouds, I can now
impress/bore my friends by pointing what type of clouds are above our heads!"

Lost
This beautifully busy illustration has been created by Sarah Beetson for the song "Lost" by musician Amanda Palmer from Dresden Dolls. Done for the artwork on her upcoming solo album, Amanda asked a large handful of artists, including Shepherd Fairey, Neil Gaiman and Molly Crabapple to create a piece based around one of her songs for the record. Sarah says "The album will be self-published, and Amanda raised over 1 million US dollars in a month via crowdfunding to fund the project: I guess this is what you can expect from social networking when you have over 500,000 Twitter followers!"
