Weaveworld

The book 'Weaveworld' by Clive Barker has at its centre a 'magic carpet' which is a world in itself. A struggle between good and evil for control spills out and into into our world. Here in the front cover design an entity called Uriel has taken over the body of a victim to relentlessly pursue it's enemies called the 'Seerkind' - the forces of good. The artist chose the use of complimentary colours to give the picture a sense of movement underlining the magic carpet theme.

Weaveworld Carpet

The back cover design for 'Weaveworld' had the complete carpet design as the subject. The roundels around the carpet edge hold facets from the story in small pictures. The outer edge has over 100 different creatures delineated. These are the carpet's protective defence mechanisms. The book also contained black and white pen and ink drawings by the artist.
