British designer Stuart Bache was art director on this lovely cover for the forthcoming novel Bricks by Leon Jenner. The epic cover illustration is by Jorn Kaspuhl, who also illustrated the book.
There is a really nice sense of something both classic and yet contemporary about this design, which seems appropriate for the book from what I can gather. Stuart’s work has, of course, appeared on previously on The Casual Optimist, and you can read my short interview with him here.
Bricks itself is actually about a bricklayer who remembers a past life as a Druid at the time of the Roman invasion of Britain. It was — if I remember correctly — originally released by the author a few years ago as an online audio book. No doubt someone will correct if I am wrong.
