June 2010: this is a one-off opportunity to purchase a book cover artwork, an original oil selected by publisher Fremantle Press as the cover of the new Wayne Ashton novel Equator. Georgia Richter, Fremantle Press, says: "Equator is an intricate and expansive love story, and a powerful ode to the earth's fragile oceans". The artwork, Lagoon, was painted in 2004 as part of a series of much-loved and acclaimed oceanic landscapes - many of which are now held by collectors around Australia, and two in London. Drawings from the book can be purchased. Professor Ted Snell - Director, Cultural Precinct, University of Western Australia: "Equator is a rich novel bursting with a tangible visual world that unfolds in a vivid panorama."
