Studio proof for the cover of ‘Small Expectations’

The finished art work has arrived for the cover of Donald Murray’s superb new book, ‘Small Expectations’, and I think the box constructions work well in the design.

It was a fantastic opportunity given to me by Sharon Blackie and David Knowles at Two Ravens Press, to produce images to compliment the text. I have worked in collaboration with Donald previously, and I find his writing a treasure trove of images and ideas, just waiting to be created visually. Doing the cover work for Small Expectations was no exception to this rule.

The book is to be published on 1st March 2010, and I would highly recommend getting a copy to read for yourself.

The book will be available from the Two Ravens Press website; click on the image to access the 2010 catalogue featuring this and many other fine titles.

Thanks also to Bob Aylott for his expertise and assistance photographing the assemblages.
