The Kosher Guide to Imaginary Animals Cover
Voila! A close-to-final cover for the Kosher Guide, by that talented rogue, Mr. John Coulthart…I believe publication by Tachyon is set for November. Don’t quote me on this, but the current plans for format are an attractive little “gift book” 5 x 7 hardcover, about 112 pages. Based on this post, but including more animals, as well as descriptions and art/illo of each, a selection of the blog comments (if space allows and fair use of public material holds true here–currently researching). As well as “other stuff”.
The blog post itself wound up getting comments from around the world, and inspired a Swedish national public radio broadcast, among other things.

Just perfect. Coulthart’s work continues to astound me.
I’ll definitely be picking up a few of these to gift for the holidays.

Thanks. Coulthart’s really an international treasure. The basic brief we gave him was: playful, with an animal peeking out the left side of the layout.
I can’t wait to see the final Finch cover, which he’s working on for Underland.
