Neil Gaiman Vinyl Project
I had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of working with the incredible Neil Gaiman and Harper Audio with Art Director Kathleen Servidio to create artwork for the special vinyl edition of The Monarch of the Glen and Black Dog. Below are the illustrations for the project, including the interior artwork for the slipcases and the original sketches.
Cover Artwork
Below is the final artwork for the slipcase cover. We wanted to show the main character somehow, since he’s the main character of both stories, but also wanted to add mystery and mood without it becoming a “character portrait” so to speak. This was the end result.

The right column features the artwork on the covers of the slipcases, while the left column features the corresponding back cover.
