Dan and the Caverns of Bone Thomas Taylor

Well, I think I can share this now: the cover for the second Dan adventure in all its creepicolour glory!

If it turns out I am being premature, then this post’ll vanish like a puff of ectoplasm on a windy day, and I’ll have to put up a review of pencils or something instead. But assuming that it’s okay, I hope you like it. Needless to say I’m very pleased myself, especially since I nearly abandoned this drawing early on because the line was a bit iffy. But it’s never a good idea to judge something before it’s finished, especially with Photoshop waiting in the wings to work its magic. And it turned out okay, I think. In fact, it rather puts the cover of the first book in the shade. But you didn’t hear me say that…

Anyway, I blogged about this book recently, in case you missed it. It’s due out next year with A&C Black (Bloomsbury), as part of their Quicksilver series for ‘newly confident’ readers, 10+.
