Books have always been a strong influence into my
artwork. The effect that they have over someone is very empowering. They are an
escape form out lives, a moment of relaxation amongst the insanity.
With the paper format of books slowly passing, I
find it essential to capture the essence of the printed book. I use textures
inspired by parchment, traditional font faces, and even books themselves.
In my piece Letters for a Child, the influence from
classic novels is extremely relevant. I have created book inspired alphabet
using strong silhouettes that represent key characters from classics and modern
classics in children’s fiction. This
piece was created to not only inspire children to read but to be read.
As a designer I tend to work in a digital format,
using books as an inspirational jumping point. I work with original hand drawn
images. My pieces tend to have a limited color palette. If my artwork can
captivate you like a book can that I have reached my goal.
