Here’s the last of the forty-some rough sketches I’ve been working on over the past few weeks for an illustrated reprint of Hemingway’s “The Sun Also Rises”. Of these, 19 will be chosen for the interiors along with the one cover illustration I’ve already completed. This project should be completed by mid July, with publication set for later in the year. Been having a lot of fun with these, and am looking forward to jumping into the finishes.

Continuing work on several books concurrently. Here’s some more samples from the Hemingway “Sun Also Rises” book project. The publisher wants the cover image done ahead of the interiors, so I took a day off of sketching last week to work on the above illustration. Meanwhile, below are more samples of the rough sketches for the interior pages (of which approximately half will eventually make the cut and go to final).

Back from a short trip to Florida to see my Mom, and diving into several book projects this week. It will likely be a while before I get to finished illustrations on any of these, so I thought I’d share the sketch process for one of the books. Above are some rough sketches for the cover, and below are several concepts for the interior chapters (1-5) for an illustrated reprint of ‘The Sun Also Rises’, coming soon for Skyhorse Publishing. I’m also concurrently working on a book on Climate Change for MacMillan, which I may also share sketches next week.
