Bob Robber and Dancing Jane

'Bob Robber and Dancing Jane'; a children's book illustrated by Bee Willey and written by Andrew Matthews is to stage as a ballet!

Produced by Clare Prenton,  the story now evolved as 'Shadow Thief' is a thrilling development of the original book about the dark souled Bob Robber who learns to dance and live in the light with help from Dancing Jane. Bee says "Both myself and Andrew were delighted at the clip with the lyrics we were sent by Clare's agent, and also by the twitter info around the rehearsals in Barnes, seemingly leading to a premiere in 2014 in Edinburgh! It is wonderful for a story like this to take off in a new context…"

Dolores

This moody painting by T.S Spookytooth is a promotional piece for his short story "Dolores".
Spookytooth says " (The story) revolves around a house that sits on an unkempt lawn that was sun scorched from summers past and tangled with weeds that winter could not kill. It concerns a young girl called Dolores and who she is...or was." The mystery of the narrative echoes Spookytooth's enigmatic illustrations. We look forward to seeing more.

Haunted

Rohan Eason's fine style lends itself perfectly to the mysterious. And here we see his recent book jacket for Oxford University Press; William Hussey's 'Haunted' demonstrating Rohan's brilliance with this genre so well. A childrens book complete with ghosts and a derelict house, the book is out now.

Sixto Rodriguez

 

Hannah Megee creates a portrait of Sixto Rodriguez in her classic haunting style.
Commissioned by the music newspaper Deluxe, the piece was to illustrate the iconic musician and star of 'Searching For Sugarman' to celebrate International Record Store Day. Hannah says "As there are limited photographs of Rodriguez in the public domain, I was asked to create an image that was original, yet encompassed his personality and charm."
