Nino and Nina finished foldout spread

Foldout page for Nino And Nina//gouache on mountboard//4 days

So I guess I forgot to upload this before, because I left the scan on the university mac instead of on my pen drive. Oh well.

I had no idea how this would turn out, and this is nothing like the (very vague) image I had in my head, which was going to go from realism to scratchy ink drawings, but I think this works better to depict a fever dream. The idea of making the deep dark woods graffiti crawl out of the walls was a) a turning point in figuring out how to get a smooth transition and b) a great opportunity to play with graffiti-style painting, which as the New Scientist piece proved, is REALLY FUN.

By the way, the owls over the door are copied from a delightfully glaring design that my classmate Luke did in first year, and the mushrooms are adapted from an Infected Mushroom album cover. Everything else is entirely my own (including the horrific tree...yeah.)
