Illustration Gig

I was asked to do the cover art for Andrew Ian Dodge's new book,"And Glory".

SYNOPSIS

The year is 2034. Power lies in Europe with the bureaucrats in Brussels and London is the centre for the Western Provinces.

The Supremo Manipulator of this conglomerate of nations is Pius, with no religious connections and a diminishing hold on power the Union is sustained by nepotism, violence and musical chairs of political appointees. The disintegration of the Union is imminent.

Rob, an English tech nerd together with his accomplice David, have to use their cyborg intelligence to survive in this oppressive Euro society in the Western Provinces. The assassination of Teresa, Rob's girlfriend, and a busload of tourists along with the murder of a Czech student at Hull European University, provide the catalyst for Rob and David's dangerous involvement. Together with their minders, Michaela and Kiara, they head full speed into their deadly adventure. Death is catching.

With a touch of humour, a satirical political edge, characters that you come to know well and a flowing writing style take the reader through a techno thriller deep into the 21st century. We see the ambivalence of the revolutionaries, who never intended serious action, faced with orders to destroy and kill. Europe will never be the same again …

I like the cover idea, but I'd like to see you take the illustration & actually paint it on canvas (I'm not that fond of the blurry edges & the fade to white--although I do like the lighter shading variations towards the middle of the work).

Had the synopsis not said, "The year is 2034," I'd have thought this was a history book.

Growing up in New Jersey, I'm very familiar with this view of the backside of Lady Liberty. She faced New York Harbor but presented her copper-clad posterior to Jersey City.
