The Shadowhunter's Codex (44 page)

ARTIST ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Rebecca Guay
provided us with the frontispiece, a study of the primary players from the Mortal Instruments books.

Charles Vess
supplied the endpiece, a similar study of the characters of the Infernal Devices. (That’s the London Institute they’re frolicking upon.)

Michael Wm. Kaluta
produced the chapter headings, and understood what we meant when we said, “Do it like an old-school gaming manual.”

John Dollar
illustrated the history of the Nephilim, choosing what to illustrate from the text himself, rather than being given a specific list of requested subjects.

Theo Black
was commissioned to do two pieces of faerie-themed art and then sent us five. We used all five.

Elisabeth Alba
’s quickly dashed-off practice sketches were good enough to print, but we were glad we waited for the actual finished pieces. She contributed beautiful, mostly pencil-based work across the whole Codex.

Jim Nelson
also contributed beautiful work across the whole Codex, but most important, he added three new demons to the Shadowhunter universe. They are wonderfully disgusting and we are proud to have them.

Cassandra Jean
as Clary Fray. Cassandra Jean drew all over this thing, and filled the back of it with portraits.

Michael McCartney
at Simon & Schuster designed the book, placed the art, and was very, very patient with our many detail-oriented requests.

And of course, thanks to
Valerie Freire
for her rune designs and her inspiration.
