  Neil Gaiman: Back CatalogueA collection of eight book covers from Neil Gaiman's back catalogue. Using the themes and plot as inspiration I created these covers using handmade textures, made from watercolour and dry ink which were manipulated and edited with Adobe Photoshop to give a digital printmaking affect. This project is Longlisted in the AOI World Illustration Awards 2022 for New Talent in Book Covers!
