Looks like we got ourselves a reader



Hello again and Happy New Year!

These illustrations are based on three short stories from The Bloody Chamber by Angela Carter. Although the title sounds a bit wrong it's a really interesting book, macabre and twisted-just how I like 'em. I've been switching between it and this book-a very creepy combination, obviously turning over NO new leaves in 2012.

I used one pen and one (almost empty) pot of indian ink for all three. It was a nice challenge to strip it down to the bare essentials and avoid using a computer as much as humanly possible.

  2. Hey there, I love your illustrations. I entered this comp too. I sent your link to a friend who it turned out had seen it independently and also said it was great.

    I've put my submissions in my gallery if you care to have a gander.

    All the best,
