New cover work for @harpercollinsuk @harpercollinsuk_design—How I Cook by Ben Lippett @dinnerbyben, out in September—This book is destined to have its pages irreparably splashed and stained with all manner of delicious things, and its spine broken. It’s a future classic of the home kitchen. So chuffed to have had the chance to work on this with Ben and @simeongreenaway. Thanks so much for the commission (and @m_lavery I owe you lunch )—#cookbook #howicook #dinnerbyben #benlippett #booksaboutfood #cookbookdesign #cookerybook #lemon #fork #knife #foodies #foodlover #coverdesign #bookcover #bookcoverdesign #chef

Happy publication day to the very lovely @ollysmith. His book WINE is out today.—This is the most orange thing I have ever made. It’s so orange. I illustrated the cover and everything inside the book too. The whole thing was a joy to be part of.—Olly’s book is, truly, a ray of the most cheerful sunshine on a topic which can feel intimidating to many. If you don’t know where to start, this is the book for you. If you do, it’s still the book for you. It’s really fun.—Commissioned by @sarah10016 and @katherinecase_design—#bookdesign #bookdesigner #wine #winedesign #grapes #vino #burgundy #bordeaux #winegrapes #assyrtiko #greekwine #frenchwine #newworldwine #naturalwine #redwine #whitewine #fizz #champagne #illustration #booksaboutfood #booksaboutwine #vineyard #wineproducers #bookstagram #orange #pantone
