Day Project 1.

This was a day project we had which involved illustrating the opening line of various books. The catch was were weren't allowed to use images, only text and font. The final had to be A1 size and capture the feeling of the line.

My opening line was from 'The Name of the Rose':
"It is cold in the scriptorium. My thumb aches. I leave this manuscript, I do not know for whom; I no longer know what it is about. Stat rose pristine nomine, nomina nuda tenemus."

This is still the News!

Just to show you the massive amount of drawing for the animation!

A page with part of an owl sequence.

And the pile of sequences... each sequence probably had at least 20 images... some more!

And finally part of one of the children sequences.
