DANTE’S GUIDE TO LIFE

Dante’s Guide to Life is an upcoming book by Daniel Ross Goodman. “There is a great tradition of artists who have illustrated The Divine Comedy–from Botticelli to Gustave Doré to William Blake and Salvador Dali. Føgrà’s are done in an exquisite, highly skilled manner that makes it look like a genuine classic while also being uniquely hers. Even though we’re going through hell, with every illustration she’s taking me closer to heaven. I really could not be happier with having reached out to her to be the artist for this book. Nor could I have picked a better artist.” – Daniel Ross Goodman

BEYOND ORDER

The #1 Amazon and New York Times bestseller published by Penguin Random House. “Føgra is a fine art painter and graphic designer, and was trained as a classical musician. The images in that book are deeply influenced by her musical training, employing layer upon layer of visual content, in much the same manner that music employs layer upon layer of sound. Her images are further characterized by the deep sense of a story beyond the image — a feature pushed to its limit. She was influenced by her European upbringing, which imbued her with a profound respect for artistic endeavour.” – JBP

RED KNIVES & FORKS

Red Knives & Forks is a tale inspired by the life and career of Marco Pierre White. Once upon a time, a little boy named Grey, the third of four brothers, with only a father to raise them all, lived on the edge of a grumpy little village far outside a kingdom called Londinium. He was born on Easy Knights Road. Between the little boy and the kingdom was a big brick wall with a towering black door at its center as tall as all the boy’s brothers combined. This boy is not yet ready to venture past this door, let alone approach it. However Grey does not yet know that he will one day be the high warlock in the king’s very kitchen.
