Sorry for my being too late but I hadn't see....
So, here is my latest cover illustration, for a friend who wrote his book: "Sous ma belle étoile" (a travel recollection).

.the left hand of darkness.

I’m done! Dont think I have ever taken so long to complete a painting. Probably took me only 8-9 hours, over 50 days!



Now, here’s where it gets strange. I had just started reading Ursula Le Guin’s ‘Left Hand of Darkness’ (1969) around the time the need to paint came crashing down on me. I wasnt sure until now if I had read the book before I started painting or after. Le Guin’s novel is set in the future on a planet called Genthen or Winter which has never seen war; this is attributed to the peculiar characteristics of its inhabitants. Long story short, Le Guin is a genius, she takes you on a journey through time and space. Reminds me of the Discworld series. This is the cover of the copy I own,



There were absolutely no similarities and it didn’t cross my mind that the painting was connected to the book in any way. It was only when I looked for an image of the cover, to upload for another post, did I realise how influenced the painting actually is.

Book Cover by CJ @ ProArtz

(Click on image for larger view.)

I had been using Photoshop for years. I was totally self-taught.  I bought Illustrator but found it was much different and never learned to use it.  But once I turned 62, I was able to take free classes at the community college, so I signed up for a class on Illustrator in the Graphic Arts department. One of my assignments was to illustrate a familiar children's story for the cover of "Fairy Tales for Grown-Ups: The Classics Retold."  I had fun creating this for my class assignment ---and it fits the Monday Artday topic nicely, too.
