The large format of the book allows the paintings to really shine, some with their big blocks of bright colours, others with their intricate detail. In the introductory interview (which text, with a short prefatory note, make up the two-and-a-half pages that aren't given over to the paintings and their title pages), Todd acknowledges the influence on his work of, amongst others, Magritte, Bosch and Ernst, though I'm more put in mind of Rousseau and, particularly in the case of his cover for Irish Tales Of Terror, of Richard Dadd's painting, The Fairy-Feller's Master-Stroke
I have quite a few books with his cover art, mainly genre titles, but one of my favourites, which sadly is omitted from this portfolio (reasonably so, as he hasn't painted it at the time this book was published), is his painting for Hermann Hesse's Stories of Five Decades.
According to his website, Todd gave up book cover illustration some years ago, though it's nice to see that he's still working and, occasionally, exhibiting. ( )
