Houses Under the Sea – interior illustration

This is an illustration for one of Caitlin R. Kiernan’s short stories in the recently published Houses Under the Sea (Centipede Press). I’m showing the image in its original state because I like the warmth of the off white Arches paper (the file submitted to the publisher was altered for printing). The finished book is beautifully  made. Below are a few snaps so you can see how the artwork was incorporated into the design.
