A recent book cover for Mr. Dawson Fearnow. Many thanks. www.maitaimurder.com. #noirillustration #editorialillustration

A stylized portrait of a woman rendered in bold, graphic illustration fills the frame. She stands facing forward, hands resting on a ledge at either side of her hips, posture confident and composed. Her figure is elongated with elegant proportions, dressed in a fitted button-down blouse tucked into a high-waisted pencil skirt. The blouse is neatly tailored with rolled sleeves, and the skirt follows a clean, structured silhouette. Her face is dramatically divided by lighting. Warm golden light washes over the left side, casting a soft amber tone across her cheek, temple, and shoulder. The right side is bathed in cool blue shadow, creating a sharp vertical split down the center of her face and body. This dual-tone effect enhances the sculpted planes of her features: arched brows, almond-shaped eyes, defined cheekbones, and softly painted lips. Her hair is styled in vintage waves, swept back and curled near the temples, echoing mid-century glamour. The background is simplified and painterly, composed of dark blocks and angular shapes that frame her silhouette without distraction. The overall palette balances deep navy, muted beige, and golden ochre, reinforcing the interplay between warmth and coolness. The mood feels cinematic and poised, blending classic elegance with graphic modernism.

Split by Light
Half shadow, half sun, she stands where contrast becomes character.
