When editorial wanted to supplement their Monthly Book Club articles with illustrations rather than photos (of an author sitting at a table, stack of books in the foreground) Dave happily took on the assignment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor these book club book illustrations Dave read the book in its entirety, came up with a concept, and painted the resulting composition. Each is a unique pictorial take on the fictional world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wonderful painting features a caravan and a blurred family tree to illustrate Carole Cadwalladr's 2006 novel \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eFamily Tree\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003c\/strong\u003eRemarkable is Dave's signature light touch, and the ways in which it can create such a range of expression, form, and meaning.
