A personal project combining illustration, collage and my growing collection of original paper ephemera (tickets, vintage lables, matchboxes and more.)

Illustrations based on Italo Calvino's popular novel.

Drypoint etching is a versatile medium that can be combined with other elements once the prints dry. In this case I printed the design with an ultramarine ink and added colored pencil details and collage. The different palettes make for two very different original illustrations.

Kings, queens, and little animals appear often on the pages of my sketchbook and on the small bits of leftover paper on my table. This page is dedicated to them, as they seem to belong to the same watercolor world.
