New Illustrations for Werewolves of New Idria
filed in Book Cover Illustrations and Artwork on May.18, 2010
I just got word from John Chadwell that he has signed a book contract with Moonstone Books for a novelized version of the Werewolves of New Idria.
John Chadwell has written hundreds of articles for magazines and newspapers, become somewhat of successful script doctor, and penned over 20 theatrical scripts on speculation. He even works from time to time with Ron Shusett (who wrote Alien and Total Recall). And currently Diverse Talent Group is soliciting producers regarding Hunt of the Sea Wolves which Chadwell and Shusett co-wrote.
Now here’s where I come in: Chadwell has asked me to create several dozen brand new illustrations for his upcoming novel Werewolves of New Idria.
As those who’ve been following my work know, I’ve previously produced a number of illustrations for Chadwell’s online version of Werewolves of New Idria. But rather than recycle those, we’ve decided to go with brand new pictures so readers will have an added treat in store when they buy his book.
Working on a project with Moonstone is pretty amazing as well. They publish a huge number of titles (mostly in graphic novel format) including classics like The Phantom, Kolchak: The Nightstalker, Bucakaroo Banzai, and many other titles.
Am I excited? You bet.
Now to calm down and get to work.
