Our artists have the sharpest eyes around. Their attention to form and composition gets no better. All different, rich and unique, these works of art compliment our fiction and poetry perfectly. But make no mistake, these artists are strong enough to stand on their own. Their vision will captivate.
Carrion House
Luke Spooner a.k.a. ‘Carrion House’ and ‘Hoodwink House,’ currently lives and works in the South of England. Having graduated from the University of Portsmouth with a first class degree he is now a full time illustrator and writer for just about any project that peaks his interest. Despite regular forays into children's books and fairy tales, for which he has won awards for literary and artistic merit, his true love is anything macabre, melancholy or dark in nature and essence. He believes that the job of putting someone else’s words into a visual form, to accompany and support their text, is a massive responsibility as well as being something he truly treasures.
