Thrilled to share that Dune: Messiah by Frank Herbert is now available as part of The Christmas Collection from The Folio Society! It was a dream creating 8 interiors, 10 chapter headings, cover, and slipcase for this illustrated edition. • I feel incredibly fortunate to have created work for a book I love so much, and I hope the images contribute something extra for readers. A huge thank you to The Folio Society and AD Sheri Gee for trusting me with this project and for taking such care in the production details. The end product is a stunning collector’s item that I’m very proud to be a part of. I can’t wait to share more of the work with you. • On creating the cover (without spoilers): The cover depicts Alia dressed in ceremonial garb as the head of the empire’s religious wing. Her rites and rituals strengthen the symbolism around Muad’Dib: a lowly desert creature transformed into an infinite godhead.

We wanted to keep continuity with FS’s edition of the first book, illustrated by Sam Weber (incidentally one of my favorite illustrators). So, Alia’s veil is a link back to Sam’s final illustration in Dune, which depicts Alia as small child. For me, the veil is a nod to the danger of prescience to lock the practitioner onto a fixed path, paradoxically limiting their view. Increasingly in Dune: Messiah, Alia represents religious dogma and the danger of having “blind faith” in a supreme figure or philosophy, so obscuring her eyesight seemed appropriate. And we also get this fitting line early in DM: “Such a rich store of myths enfolds Paul Muad’Dib…and his sister, Alia, it is difficult to see the real persons behind these veils.”

Hey everyone, this was an image i did for an annual illustration competition over at @foliosociety, an amazing design and publishing studio in London which does incredible special editions of notable books with top illustrators. Unfortunately my image didn't place within the top 20, but if you take a look at the longlist youll see the competition was fierce this year! I'll try again next year.

We were asked to illustrate a scene from the short story, "The Flyers of Gy" by Ursula K. Le Guin about a humanoid society that sometimes develop wings and risk their lives to fly.

The image I chose to create was from a scene in the story explaining one of the tragic plays that came out of that culture. I figured this would be a chance to do some high drama and gothic romance atmosphere. I worked really hard on it, and ill be throwing up some process videos this week.

Thanks for looking! xoxo

❝There is a folktale in the Southern Marches of Merm of a winged man who leapt into the air from the sacrificial crag and flew so strongly that he escaped the spears and arrows and disappeared into the sky. The original story ends there.❞

- From the short story The Fliers of Gy by Ursula K. Le Guin

A favourite drawing from The Neverending Story, by Michael Ende. From the precious edition published by and available at @foliosociety 📖 I often lament to myself that I have nothing interesting to share.... Forgetting that I have piles of drawings and paintings and ceramics and whatever else that I don't think about, just because they're not on my desk just then. * _ * See you soon, with more delightful content, in whatever form it comes ! #maharelillo #notonmydesk #theneverendingstory #thefoliosociety #drawing #ink #illustratedbook #illustrationartist — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/ecXkFs1

Since the longlist for @foliosociety Folio Book Illustration Award 2023 is out I'll go ahead and share my submission for this year!

I sadly did not go through to the longlist but I can't wait to look through the people that did and see their interpretations of the book 🤗

I had a lot of fun working on this illustration based on an excerpt of the book "Fliers of Gy" by Ursula K Le Guin even though I only had a few days to think and create it because I didnt realize about the competition being on 😅

The ghola, Hayt: A being reconstructed from the dead flesh of the original man whose appearance “positively melts the female psyche,” a Tleilaxu thing who is both man and mask, bearer of gleaming metal eyes, a Mentat, a Zensunni philosopher, a swordmaster — a complex character, indeed. Truth be told, I did swoon a few times while painting this, though thankfully my psyche remains intact. • Created for the illustrated edition of Dune: Messiah from The Folio Society
