Description
Here is a book illustration I did for a hardback journal called Zartana, which is all about the travels of a Romani girl throughout the course of a year. It's a charming book packed with details of her travels,maps, cards, craft, lore, recipes and the like as well as loads of illustrations. For your chance to own a full colour signed copy just visit www.indiegogo.com/projects/zar… ; . The book cost thirty bucks and is well worth it in my view! Sorry, marketing speech over.......except that it would make a fantastic Christmas gift !Related content

Fantastic work! I wish you'd been illustrating this book 18 years ago, my ten-year-old self would've loved it for sure. (I was obsessed with Romani culture ever since "Hunchback of Notre Dame.") I will definitely check this book out as an adult too, though.

Thanks! - I used Painter and experimented with its ink and watercolour brushes on this one.

looks really amazing and fantastic, you can totally tell from this picture on what the artistic theme is going to be and I think its perfect for what the book is going for.

I'll be pledging some money myself to get a copy or two of the book - I've only seen a couple of your illustrations for it and must see more!

I'd like to pledge some money too. Can't wait to actually hold it in my hands!
