“Our work on the great novels of classic authors began many years ago. We have been lucky to be able to illustrate many literary works for adult audiences, a truly niche production in the panorama of book publishing. We see illustrating a novel as making a film. Each project is a unique and unrepeatable journey. When we set out into a new literary world, we must imagine its characters, environments, costumes, sets, lights, color, feelings, emotions, and passions. In all our work, we draw on not only our knowledge of fine art but our training in graphic design, merging the two.”
