I’m participating in a group show at Copro Gallery! The theme of the show is things that inspire Guillermo Del Toro. So I’ve picked an Edgar Allan Poe story, which reminded me of Crimson Peak. The show opens October 7th for anyone in the area, do check it out!
I’m doing an original art sale! I’ve put up a small selection of work from my archives, along with some new tiny originals I’ve been working on recently.
The shop will only be up for two weeks, so get ‘em before they’re gone! www.rovinacai.com/originalart
There’s a cool post on the Tor.com blog showing all of my sketches from Seanan McGuire’s Wayward Children series. I absolutely love the series, and so every time I get an assignment to illustrate one of the books, I go a little crazy and give AD Irene Gallo many *many* prelim sketches. Only 3 sketches are taken to final for each book, but the blog post gathers together all the previously unseen sketches, so you can see the ones that didn’t make the cut.
I’m excited to announce that I recently finished illustrating a picture book!
The book is called ‘Tintinnabula’, it’s written by Margo Lanagan, and will be published in Australia in October by Little Hare Books.
Here is a sneak peak of an advance copy I recently received:
There’s a small interview with me in the April issue of Locus Magazine. You can also read it online here. They did a feature on legendary illustrator Kinuko Craft, and included some mini-interviews with other illustrators as well. I am thrilled to be included alongside Jeffrey Alan Love and Paul Lewin.
My piece ‘Tom, Thom’ has been nominated for a Chesley Award this year, in the Interior Illustration category! The piece was created for a Tor.com short story, and is one of my favourite pieces from last year.
The calibre of work nominated is truly amazing, and I’m super honoured to be included. A list of all the gorgeous work nominated can be found here.
