Comments

Aye! That croc do give it away. Great stuff again, Lew. Bri

Great cover, will be a great book.

Love the vibrant colours, Lewis - and great subject for a photo book, love all your fantasy stuff!

It's a great cover Lew, but does it really address the 'Science Fiction' part of the title? I have no doubt it will be a great book whatever the cover....perhaps it's a case of not judging the book by the cover?

Will be fabulous Lew. Another great!

Another great image.

Another great one Lew. I am so impressed not just by your lovely illustrations, but also on your prolific work output!

Make sure you name is up there Lew, big and bold. Brilliant work. I do see Tony's point about the science fiction aspect on this cover?

Thank you all for your great feedback. I was going to say a bit more about the books, but the description you can give is limited, as you'll know. As is my way, I have doubts the minute I finish a pic...this one's OK and it's fantasy...but I'm already thinking of something else for the cover. I may include this in the book just as a pic, but it'll need cropping. Tony's point about no sci-fi is valid...I may do some kind of 'compendium' picture.

Just wonderful Lewis. Good luck with such a challenging endeavour.

Looking forward to your new book Lewis, don’t worry, what ever you do will be epic!

I'm so glad you are putting your wonderful art into books and hope you are writing as well - as always this is great and your work ought to be out there.

Lewis that one with the piper with the piglet on his head and the boy struck with wonder come to mind for me. An extremely inviting cover image. Just a thought.

Great drawing, Lewis!

Thanks again for your comments. John, glad you liked my one-man band pic. I've already decided not to use this 'HOOK' pic as a cover...but I compile these over time, so there's no rush. At the moment I'm thinking a montage style pic with both sci-fi and fantasy might be better.

As Brian Epstein said to the Beatles, “oh just put a brown paper bag on it”. As said Lewis the content will be gripping.

This is supposed to be Captain Hook and Smee, from Peter Pan. In recent years I've been putting my stuff into photo-books...this is one of two underway at the moment. This cover may change.

About the Artist
Lewis Cooper

Self taught. Love drawing. Like to make pictures up, without using reference pics, often in cartoon style. I do other pictures where I do use reference. I'm knocking on a bit, born in 1940 in Greenwich, London. Retired, and loving it.
