What to Bake and How to Bake it

Hello, next Monday 29th Sept "What to Bake & How to Bake it" by Jane Hornby is published by Phaidon. I am so proud of this book, I illustrated the wrap around cover, end paper patterns, title page, half title page and the four chapter headers. I used a MUCH more vibrant palette than I would normally and it was so much fun to work with these stronger colours.

Here's the final cover...

The patterned end papers....

Here's the original drawing for the title page...

I thought it might also be interesting to see some of the earlier ideas for the cover....

This week I started two FANTASTIC new projects, they're really exciting and I hope to share the info from at least one of them with you next week. Have a wonderful weekend! x
