by Nick Craine

The book collects hundreds of Nick Craine’s best works from a lifetime spent as a freelance illustrator. These include book covers, graphic novel works, kids’ books, storyboards, conceptual illustrations … you name it, he’s done it.

The pieces have been carefully curated to map the development of one Canada’s top talents — from amateur zine artist to master craftsperson — with a breadth of image making approaches that defy category or genre.

Line Work is the career-long time capsule of a creative tradesperson whose tools are brush, ink and inner vision. The book is a beautiful showpiece with a narrative underpinning that is simultaneously singular and universal.
