Book Illustration

For over twenty years I have worked closely with self-publishing authors and publishers to produce full colour illustrations and black on white drawings for their books on various subjects. I have over time illustrated more than thirty books from children's story books to biographical publications and poetry collections. I enjoy creating colourful, eye-catching and entertaining book cover artwork and design and insert illustrations  when required. This gallery features a selection of my varied book illustration work including my own self-published hardback coffee table art books. These two beautifully produced volumes are available to purchase at my store.

The books of Claude Bennetts

If you are looking for a way to keep your child entertained and learning at the same time then you need look no further. In these two beautifully illustrated books, Claude Bennetts shares with you a lifetime of experience working with animals. A fun read for children with activity pages and colour in drawings. 99 Poems is an intriguing insight into the landscape of a Cornishman's life. An enjoyable read that appeals to all ages. 

 

"Gerald Newton's colourful, imaginative and engaging illustrations helped to bring my stories to life. I found Gerald after many months of searching and I regard him as one of this country's finest illustrators. If you need illustration you won't find better."
