His work has also encompassed illustrations for many books, magazines, posters and multimedia publications. Ivanhoe, his first work as author and illustrator for children, was published as a deluxe hardback in 1997. Skilleter has had a long working relationship with the BBC. He is known all over the world for his prolific output of Doctor Who artwork for the BBC and other publishers, work which was showcased in a book published in 1995 entitled Blacklight: The Art of Andrew Skilleter. The artist regards as one of his greatest achievements the seven audio cassette covers for BBC Radio 4’s adaptation of C.S. Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia,dramatisedby Brian Sibley; four of these are being offered in this sale. In an online blog Brian Sibley writes of his delight in having Skilleter as illustrator, saying that the artist brought “an intelligence and a sympathy that complimented the telling of these much-loved tales, coupled with a sensibility as a designer for creating intriguing images that invited the listener to discover the story behind the pictures”. Also offered here are five original dust jacket designs for the classic series The Dark Is Rising by Susan Cooper, published by The Bodley Head in 1992. In an article for ‘Folio Society Magazine’ the author described Skilleter’s dramatic illustration for Under Sea, Over Stone as showing “an evilly threatening Lord of the Dark in a swirling robe”, and praised the artwork for its immediate visual appeal and accurate representation of the text. Paintings by Andrew Skilleter have been exhibited in London and across the UK, including at The Association of Illustrators. Numerous pieces of his work are to be found in private collections in the UK as well as globally. The works of art offered here are being sold direct from the artist himself.
