John, I really love the b&w illustrations from the Japanese edition of Charlie Bone - did you do the cover too?

Glad you like the drawings Candy, I illustrated the first five books in the series, cover and interiors. The Japanese publisher only contracted to produce the first five titles. In the UK Egmont have released a limited edition reprint of the first book "Midnight for Charlie Bone" with my drawings (unfortunately with an over-heavy 2nd colour tint), but kept their original cover illustrator.

Hi John
Wow what a great range of styles. I especially love the pics with the sea/ boats in them and the Elves and the Shoemaker and the black and whites and oh everything!
