At long last, the wait is over! Star Wars The Acolyte Visual Guide is finally out and here is the striking cover I designed for it!
Sometimes, simple is the way to go and doesn't the creepy mask of the Stranger just say it all?

Always and forever, such proud of this book!



Taking another opportunity to shout out the wonderful, award winning "ABC Pride" that I created the styling for on the project and also commissioned the lovely artwork throughout the book, courtesy of the delightful Amy Phelps!
Still very proud of this title - great to be involved with this project and I hope there are more books like this to come!

Throwback to my involvement on DK's Rogue one publishing, tied to the release of the film, and some of my first experiences working with embargoed material! Oh, the irony of being locked in a cuboard with the death star plans while I designed the cover and spreads for this book!

With Andor putting out some of my favourite Star Warses at the moment, I turned my attention back to one of my favourite Visual Guides I've worked on, Star Wars Dawn of Rebellion The Visual Guide, which does a spectacular job of weaving together the fertile ground in the Skywalker saga between order 66 and the Death Star plan heist, from Bad Batch and Rebels, through to Obi-Wan and Andor, with some Solo and Rogue One sprinkled in for good measure and even some comics cannon as well, while we were at it!
For me, this is shared universe storytelling at its best, and if you want to see how the Ferrix crew weave into the wider galaxy, this is a perfect primer to do so!

Available now, the Disney Princess Enchanted Character Guide is a delightful updated edition of this book, filled with all the familiar favourite faces from tales as old as time!
I provided art direction to guide this beautiful cover through to the final product, but credit where it's due to the amazing designers who came up with the concept and developed it into the stunning finished product - it looks even more delightful in person, so do keep an eye out for it on shelves soon!

Wowzers - very lucky to have been involved behind the scenes on Astrophysics for Supervillains 2 The Great Alien Hunt - I may have set Illustrator Nathan Reed off with a very loose idea of a mockup for a cover design, but I think we can all agree his finished version is a trillion times better than what I could have hoped for! That also extends to the stunning interiors too, which you can see a glimpse of here as well - I hope all aspiring supervillains will enjoy reading through this as much as the creative team had putting it together!

Wanting to learn more about the Brave New World of the latest hero to wield the shield? With Sam now on the big screen, might I suggest for younger avengers to check out DK Super Readers Marvel Captain America: Meet Sam Wilson! It's a handy guide to Marvel's high flying symbol of Truth, which I had the good fortune to project manage last year!
