The Engine Room by Doug Hyde

Five burly looking Rugby player characters, all looking a bit displeased and one in the middle with a massive smile on his face, smirking for the camera. Did you notice their different faces and the way Doug has drawn their mouths? - each slightly different.

Hyde has always had a flair for black and white style imagery and the popularity of the story book 'Lost Reindeer' series (limited editions that used to be released around Christmas) is a testament to that. It's interesting to see he can transfer this skill to other genres like sport and rugby.

'The Engine Room' limited edition appears to be the 'lead' piece, as it was to the forefront of the original marketing for this new collection.
