Island Odyssey

Charting uncharted worlds, Bob Venables illustrates Quarto’s exploration of 33 extraordinary islands.

Based in the Isle of Wight, Bob has created a complete suite of illustrations for Extraordinary Islands, written by Alastair Bonnett and published by Quarto.

Spanning 33 of the world’s most unique and enigmatic destinations, the book is divided into four themed sections, each enriched by Bob’s detailed artworks and accompanying maps.

His illustrations bring depth and atmosphere to Bonnett’s storytelling, offering readers a vivid gateway into remote histories, cultures, and landscapes.
