EXTRACTS: Brian Bolland (illustrators special issue) © 2019 Book Palace Books (144 PAGES in Full edition)

142 don’t currently have plans for its publication. I’m satisfied just in the doing of it. PR: If you were starting out all over again—would you still make illustration your career? BB: Well, life for me has been a fortunate series of accidents. Without those accidents I may have had to do something else. Learn the banjo perhaps. If you spend your life doing one thing you become cripplingly ignorant and inept at every other life skill so it’s hard for me to imagine doing anything else. ● Copyright © 2019 Rebellion 2000 AD Ltd Feisty femmes, fully-realiised future worlds, flights of dark fantasy and the occasional forays into ruthless self- analysis, all contribute to the utterly fascinating world of Brian Bolland.
