Thrilled to share that Dune: Messiah by Frank Herbert is now available as part of The Christmas Collection from The Folio Society! It was a dream creating 8 interiors, 10 chapter headings, cover, and slipcase for this illustrated edition. • I feel incredibly fortunate to have created work for a book I love so much, and I hope the images contribute something extra for readers. A huge thank you to The Folio Society and AD Sheri Gee for trusting me with this project and for taking such care in the production details. The end product is a stunning collector’s item that I’m very proud to be a part of. I can’t wait to share more of the work with you. • On creating the cover (without spoilers): The cover depicts Alia dressed in ceremonial garb as the head of the empire’s religious wing. Her rites and rituals strengthen the symbolism around Muad’Dib: a lowly desert creature transformed into an infinite godhead.

We wanted to keep continuity with FS’s edition of the first book, illustrated by Sam Weber (incidentally one of my favorite illustrators). So, Alia’s veil is a link back to Sam’s final illustration in Dune, which depicts Alia as small child. For me, the veil is a nod to the danger of prescience to lock the practitioner onto a fixed path, paradoxically limiting their view. Increasingly in Dune: Messiah, Alia represents religious dogma and the danger of having “blind faith” in a supreme figure or philosophy, so obscuring her eyesight seemed appropriate. And we also get this fitting line early in DM: “Such a rich store of myths enfolds Paul Muad’Dib…and his sister, Alia, it is difficult to see the real persons behind these veils.”

onk or no Monk?

Thelonious is simply a jazz musician who, from the piano, recreates the Universe with the help of his dear Sarah, who gives voice to his world and creativity: There are also the musicians of the band who intervene and modify that world.

And what happens then?

All that coming and going of musical notes and musicians are dropped into a whirlwind of lines and graphics, of crazy staves and inks turned into sounds: A challenge to every reader who likes to look with their ears at the explosive Big Bang of a Great Band!!

Blue Balliett, author of "Chasing Vermeer," talks about how illustrator Brett Helquist was able to make the paintings in the book so real, and also discusses the puzzles interwoven throughout the story and the power art can have.  The full interview from a 2004 episode of "Conversations On The Coast with Jim Foster" can be heard now wherever you get your podcasts.

Angsty Clouds 🌧️ This one’s for all the blue-haired girls with blue-hearted thoughts. ✨💙 She’s the ultimate sad girl but one of my favorite characters. I first published Clouds back in 2018, and decided to bring her back and clean up the font style match my current one, as I’ll be bringing her back more often. 💫

The ghola, Hayt: A being reconstructed from the dead flesh of the original man whose appearance “positively melts the female psyche,” a Tleilaxu thing who is both man and mask, bearer of gleaming metal eyes, a Mentat, a Zensunni philosopher, a swordmaster — a complex character, indeed. Truth be told, I did swoon a few times while painting this, though thankfully my psyche remains intact. • Created for the illustrated edition of Dune: Messiah from The Folio Society
