Faced with the task of producing a cover painting for the second volume of the Winter book, we realized we needed something in keeping with the style of Martin's Jack pin-up - the only snag being that Martin is madly busy on his lovely kids' book The Light That Went Out. So Leo did a truly mouth-watering painting of Estelle in a sort of homage to Martin's style. I'm keeping it under wraps just until we have a firm release date for those two volumes - but I think you'll be amazed.Dave Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14468228790874490693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7321339472666778123.post-33283621626973561002010-09-13T09:37:46.057+01:002010-09-13T09:37:46.057+01:00Dohhhhh!!!

I'm glad you enjoyed the post - I promised it to you a while back but it was a lot more complicated than I thought as I had to unearth Martin's and my emails and research from two years ago. Good job I'm a hoarder!Dave Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14468228790874490693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7321339472666778123.post-67156766146317193302010-09-08T21:54:05.070+01:002010-09-08T21:54:05.070+01:00Lovely, lovely stuff Dave.

I'm always in awe of Martin's work and seeing his working drawings like this is akin to the delight of seeing animation pencil tests from classic Disney cartoons, or Leonardo's sketches.Peter Richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15566601617123798061noreply@blogger.com
