The David Lynch film of Dune was a family favourite since before I could walk. I read the book first when I was 13, and decided there and then that my goal in life was to illustrate it.

27-odd years later that dream was fulfilled when this piece of art was selected as the cover of a new Deluxe Edition of the book, for which I also provided interior illustrations. It's fair to say this image - originally a homage to a story I have always loved, and now part of its history - is my most important piece to date both professionally and personally. [3000x4385px]
