New Dead Language have recently completed a series of illustrations for Donald S. Murray's poetry collection Praising the Guga. This is to be published by North Idea and will be launched in Stornoway in late October to coincide with the release of Donald's book The Guga Hunters published by Birlinn.
NDL artist Andrew Morrison has produced seven illustrations for Praising the Guga five of which relate directly to individual poems (seen here is the art for 'St. Ronan Works on a Manuscript'). The poetry pamphlet also features cover art by Douglas Robertson.
