Autun Purser - Design and Illustration

Thanks for visiting my website. Here, I display a number of my projects, as well as offering for purchase some of my output. 

26th March 2026 - Ursula K. Le Guin designs

 I have previously illustrated the cover of 'The Word for World is Forest' for Gollancz-Orion, and I have reworked that for the poster design below. I have now completed posters for all of her fantastic 'Hainish Cycle' novels. 

 

I have produced a limited edition signed set of the 6 prints based on these books.

Here are the 6 designs printed on A3 photographic paper. Click on the Image to see the set in more detail...

Here is the design based on the planet from 'Left Hand of Darkness' - what a book! Thanks very much to my models for posing, one in Antarctica, one in Orkney, for this design!
