When Stars Fall Down From the Sky
filed in Book Artwork and Illustrations on Nov.19, 2010
Every once in a while I create an illustration that I think is fantastic – only to discover I may be the only person on the planet that thinks it is great. This is one of those.
When Stars Fall Down From the Sky has a story behind it. I imagined a jilted lover in some out-of-the-way preliterate time or place, where a spell might be called upon to bring stars from the sky, and awaken a monster to wreck retribution on the man who had cheated.
And so this picture.

There are aspects of it that are excellent, but it’s not my favourite among your pics, Duncan. What I certainly like is the gelid palette.
