Editorial & Publishing 2020-2022
A selection of some our favourite Editorial & Publishing projects from 2020-2022, including a cover for The Observer Magazine, and covers for books by Zadie Smith, Sarah Hall and Holly Webb.
Burntcoat
HarperCollins

Cover artwork for Sarah Hall’s stunning new YA novel, about an artist in lockdown at her immense studio Burntcoat whilst the world around her burns.

Tasked with creating something dramatic with depth and using a warm palette, Owen's artwork was inspired by the book’s narrative of fire, flames and burning wood, featuring a lit match at the centre, radiating with a gradient of energetic graphic flames.
Come into the Garden
The Observer Magazine

Cover illustration and animation for The Observer Magazine's 'Spring Gardens' issue in The Guardian.
Intimations
Zadie Smith / Penguin Random House

A cover for Intimations, a short and timely series of reflective essays written by Zadie Smith during the early months of Lockdown. Suffused with a profound intimacy and tenderness in response to these extraordinary times, the book clears a generous space to reflect on what has happened and what should come next.
Earth Friends
Nosy Crow

A new set of covers for best-selling author Holly Webb's Earth Friends series, about four friends who want to make the world a better place, with a focus on climate change.
