Dave Stevenson map illustration for Viking Magazine

Dave Stevenson created these two map illustrations for the March 2012 issue of Viking magazine. One of the maps shows the routes the Viking used for trading goods throughout Europe and Central Asia. The other map shows the location of The Battle of Maldon, which took place in the south of England and was fought by the Anglo-Saxons and the Vikings. Dave created both illustrations in his signature style using pen & ink and gouache:

Cathie Bleck illustration for Poetry Magazine Cover

from Cathie's blog:

It was an honor from Cathie Bleck to be selected to do one of the covers for the 100th Anniversary issue of Poetry Magazine and especially to be the first one. Felix Sockwell, who is a fellow Drawger, already did a fabulous post and piece previously, so you might want to check that article.

The assignment was to draw the infamous Pegasus in any way, shape or form as long as it could be overprinting the 100 design produced by the wonderful art director, Alex Knowlton of Winterhouse.

Here is the final piece for the project:

These are copies of the final piece designed by Alex Knowlton, as well as a beautiful folder with an embossing of the artwork, designed by Michael Renaud.
In there was written, "Poetry magazine presents new work by the most recognized poets, but its primary commitment is still to discover new voices. In the words of critic Adam Kirsch "Poetry Magazine has done what long seemed impossible ... it has become indispensable reading for anyone who cares about American literature".

We are so proud that Cathie had a part in highlighting such a great publication!
