I have illuminated a sand worm. In typing that sentence I may also have written a totally original and never before written or read combination of words in the English language.
The design is based upon cover art from an old paperback volume of the novel Dune by Frank Herbert. The text is the ‘Litany Against Fear’ from the novel.
This piece will be the first in a series of fine art for geeks. I plan to cover several worlds of science fiction and fantasy as well as some notable quotes which may be of interest to the science and history minded.
4x6 Watercolor gouache, ground mineral pigment, shell gold and ink on Bristol.
Prints are available in my Etsy store, Currant Thoughts.
Next on deck: Illuminating a weeping angel and a tromp l’oeil illumination inspired by the Nasrid plaster carvings and Kufic script of the Alhambra in Grenada.
