Arriving in the post this week, the German edition of The Last Ritual by SA Sidor, a novel with one of the Art Deco-styled cover designs that I’ve been producing recently for Aconyte Books. This isn’t the first example of my artwork being published in Germany—the Magic: The Gathering cards I was painting in the 1990s were sold in many different countries with translated captions and credits—but I think it’s my first German book cover. If that statement sounds unnecessarily vague it’s because things can sometimes be published or reprinted in other countries without anyone telling you about them, especially if a large company is behind the production.
Anyway, my congratulations to Mr Sidor on having his book translated by Cross Cult. There’s also an audio version of this one available. Meanwhile, I’ve just finished another cover for the Arkham Horror series but I can’t show it yet until the title has been announced. More on that later.

John, I’m a big fan of Art Deco and that is a wonderful design.
Off topic, but related to an earlier post, there’s an article about the Harryhausen exhibition in Edinburgh on the Studio International site –

Thanks, Andrew, those covers have been a pleasure to work on.
And thanks too for the article link, it’s good to have a glimpse of the exhibition while a visit is out of the question. Also a surprise seeing him featured in Studio International. I’ve got the blu-ray of Jason and the Argonauts on order just now. I’m looking forward to watching it during whatever passes here for the Christmas break.
