The Forbidden Library – Art
One of the most fun parts of writing a book is seeing what other people make of it, especially when those people are talented artists. For The Forbidden Library I’m lucky enough to have two such artists (one in the US and one in the UK) working on the book itself, and a few more who were willing to lend me their talents besides! I’ve collected their work below, click the covers to see the galleries.
If you’ve done Forbidden Library art, send me a link! I’d love to see it. (If I’ve messed up somehow and posted something you don’t want up here, likewise get in touch and I’ll fix it.)
Spoiler Alert: Some of the art depicts scenes from The Forbidden Library, so if you haven’t read the book, you may be clued in to some of the plot points!
