Pirate Books - Harcourt Educational
by roryroryrory
This was a mammoth project. All in all I illustrated 5 books in a series based on pirates. Each story was effectively a backup bit of colour and text to maintain the readers' interest and add to the slightly more academic stuff that occupied the first half of each book.
Simple line work and bold colours were the order of the day for this series. Little was I to know that this was the very beginning of my pirate drawing career.
As a (partial) result of my work on this, the series won a book design award, which was nice.
Here's a "team shot" of all the covers.
An internal spread.
