I know you are not meant to judge a book by it's cover ... but this cover of William Golding's "Lord of the Flies" really caught my eye when I saw it on Saturday in one of our local charityshops.
The illustration is by graphic artist, Neil Gower ... whose portfolio is simply stunning and very inspirational.

His book covers are simply first class ... but then so are his other illustrations:

His Illustrated maps are vivid, fun and useful ... and travel-related graphics are eyecatchingly gorgeous.

I really like the cut of his artistic gib ... and will be on the look out for more of his work.
