The Water of Life

  • Laura Barrett
Book cover illustrations for an updated collection of Idries Shah's World Tales. Originally published in 1979, the tales will be republished as limited edition volumes by the Idries Shah foundation. A really inspiring project, this was a great opportunity to play around with transparent layers, creating a smokey, Arabian Nights-style effect. Here's the series, along with an earlier work - in - progress version and a couple of chapter headers.
