The Illustrations are All Original Art
Alright, I'm getting numerous questions about the artwork and Illustrator Luis Guaragna. And the answer is yes, he really exists. Read about him on the website. Luis, an Argentinean, who currently lives in northern Europe created each and every illustration in book 1 under the direction of the Boom Brothers. He is that good. Luis has published in the magazine Buitre, produced the comic book Resurrecto, his illustrations are featured in the book Strangeways: Murder Moon, and he did the cover and some interior art in a Stan! rendition of Murder of Crows. And a bunch of other stuff. You can find out more about Luis on the website, plus he is all over Google.

being one of those asking earlier, I was just curious. Some of the work, especially the bloody stuff is really well done. He also does something with the eyes on a few of the closeup pictures that are really cool to.
ReplyDeleteI was watching the History channel series Battles last weekend and noticed that they have illustrations during the action scenes that look just like the action scenes in this book. Really powerful! Didn't know if Louis was the same guy who did them both. They are both real bloody and have the same freeze-frame picture says a thousand words kinda look to them.
