The illustrations for this series were created by Scott McKowen,
who, with his wife Christina Poddubiuk, operates Punch & Judy
Inc., a company specializing in design and illustration for theater
and performing arts. Their projects often involve research into the
visual aspects of historical settings and characters. Christina is
a theater set and costume designer and contributed advice on the
period clothing for the illustrations.
Scott created these drawings in scratchboard - an engraving medium
which evokes the look of popular art from the period of these
stories. Scratchboard is an illustration board with a specifically
prepared surface of hard white chalk. A thin layer of black ink is
rolled over the surface, and lines are drawn by hand with a sharp
knife by scraping through the ink layer to expose the white surface
underneath. The finished drawings are then scanned and the color is
added digitally.
Two of Jack London's best-loved masterpieces, in their entirety.
Call of the Wild tells a compelling tale of adventure during the
Yukon Gold Rush, and fully captures the unquenchable spirit of
Buck, a kidnapped dog trying to survive in the harshest of
environments. Also set in Alaska, the powerful White Fang follows
the often savage life of the magnificent title character, a mix of
wolf and dog.
