Folio Society Entry: The Bloody Chamber

Binding Cover Image

The Folio Society's annual brief is to complete three illustrative images for the novel of their choice. The Bloody Chamber is a collection of re-told fairytales published originally in 1979. I have admired the book since reading it a few years ago so even though I had other projects that needed attention I felt I'd regret not entering a submission. The illustrations are Gouache with Photoshop. The binding design was entirely produced on Photoshop
