durham_rambler sent me a link to
this gallery in the Guardian. The Folio Society, in a clever piece of self-promotion, is holding a competition to choose who will illustrate its forthcoming edition of
Howl's Moving Castle, and these are the finalists. I'm not at all sure that I approve of this entire enterprise, but there are some very pleasing pictures here. And how often do you get a gallery of DWJ fan-art in the
Guardian?
ETA:
fjm e-mails to point out
a fuller selection, and how to vote.

(I would now go with a collaborative approach and have the book illustrated by the twenty-five different people or whatever, but that's me.)

I liked different people's designs for different characters!
