study for an imagined book cover
Pencil, ink, scissors & glue. Inspired by seeing a few over-literal dummy book cover illustrations, and wanting to investigate more varied media. Playing with texture, salting, silhouettes, &c

linoleum print, 2010
Working to a brief to illustrate three major influences on three 21x21 cm panels, I elected to connect the three together as a canted L-shaped triptych, uniting the city of Venice (in particular the Ponte Vecchio), early 20th century illustrators like Rackham & Dulac, and fairytales/myths. Watercolour, gouache, pencil and acrylic ink. Looking back on this piece I reget being over-timid with my use of colour and not uniting values more effectively.
