Si Gurr

Si Gurr has been illustrating books and graphic novels for the last 17 years.

I picked up Good Omens because I had enjoyed Neil’s comics work since Violent Cases. I hadn’t read Discworld at that point but Good Omens proved to be a ‘gateway drug’ to the rich, expansive world of Terry’s imagination.

Drawing these motorway scenes, my palette was determined by the reds, oranges and yellows of the environment: brake lights, indicators and hi-vis jackets, the fiery colours of armageddon!

It was a lot of fun ‘dressing up’ these two world-famous authors as policemen, I giggled often and loved seeing my finished artwork animated with Neil and Terrry’s voices.
