A jaw dropping character Lewis enough to send shivers down your spine.

Great drawing Lewis.

A most sinister character - beautifully illustrated!!!

Another superbly drawn character Lew.

Great illustration, you could tell what he was without reading Lew's description. He has confederate soldier written all over him.

What a character , this book is going to be a great production Lewis.

Superb drawing, put me down for a first edition.

This big will be a sell out. The characters are so descriptive and need very little explaining. Thank you for entertaining us all Lewis.

Sorry should be ‘this book…’

Thanks for having a look and your comments. Always appreciated.

Super drawing Lewis.

This is top drawer Lew, you have a tremendous talent for illustration style figure drawing.

Superb illustration.

Superb work Lewis, great imagination

It's all the fine little details that bring your characters to life Lewis such as this ones gnarled hands.

So glad you are back with your wonderful cast of characters Lewis. This one reminds me of the American civil war!

I should add to my comment that I recognised the reprobate without referring to your description - Sorry!

For a book I'm illustrating for a friend. A dark ancestor of the family in the book. He served in the Confederate Army during the American Civil War. He's risen from his grave, as they tend to in these stories. The page will be square, there will be text alongside this image.

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.
