Narrative

The Masque of the Red Death, layered linocut and monoprint and preparatory drawing.

Adrift

Self-written short story about the sole inhabitant of a small island, whose world is changed following the arrival of letters from a mysterious postbox. Loosely inspired by some personal feelings.

Contains five interior aquatint etching illustrations, linocut front and back covers, as well as an envelope style case with hand-printed stamps.

The Salmon of Llyn Llyw

A series of pictures illustrating a short section from the Welsh book of Arthurian legends, the Mabinogion, inspired by an embroidery of the same story by my grandmother.

The project was assembled into a small booklet containing five etchings, with additional linocut illustrations for the covers and additional internal embellishments.

I also briefly experimented with wood engraving as a possible solution, with some success.

Phillip Fishboy

A concept for a children's book character used as an experiment in paper-engineering. Simple fineliner and watercolour illustrations hand-cut and layered together.
