Helen of Troy
With hair like lakes that glint beneath the stars Dark as sweet midnight, or with hair aglow Like burnished gold that still retains the fire. Yea, I shall haunt until the dusk of time The heavy eyelids filled with fleeting dreams. My third Illustrated cover of a classic story printed with rubber stamps and ink pads inks. Eight shapes were used from a bespoke set of 16 and I followed a common squared grid. Colours used were Versafine Onyx Black by Tukineko and Gold by Dovecraft onto a 300gsm Fabriano 5 Smooth white paper. The image is available as a limited edition A3 - printed to order https://paulfarrell.bigcartel.com/product/helen-of-troy #illustration #bookstagram #design #graphicdesign #bookdesign #bookcoverdesign #padprinting #padprint #story #book #littleredridinghood #art #homemade #print #printing #rubberstamp #printmaking #blockprint #handprinted #printart #theatre #film #setdesign #filmposter #printisnotdead
