Cover for the UK edition of the novel
entitled "Force 10 from Navarone" by Alastair MacLean. Many of the book
covers in this web were made for books by the same author.

One of more interesting elements in the
illustrator's work is finding the most suggestive way to approach a subject.
I have always liked the mystery topics, and so this order delighted me from
the beginning. |

In this cover I took special care with
lights and perspective. The anecdote is that for the kidnapped figure I
used myself as a model.

Work under commission for a magazine,
illustrating a real fact and painted with Indian inks and gouache. I tried
to imagine the tremendous crushing blow between both tankers, with masses
of four hundred thousand tons, that dragged and cracked the other ship. |

Illustration made with Indian inks for
the book entitled "Universal history of weapons" that I also wrote. A bit
of gouache was applied in the flesh of the Mata-Hari figure, so that the
dryness of scraping looked softened. |
