Research

In order to support my idea, I thoroughly research all areas Amanda and I had discussed. She had said that my prints reminded her of silent film credits, with decorative borders and elaborate text. She also said the it looked slightly like the illustrations of an old fashioned fairytale book.
With this in mind, I began looking at children’s literature illustration. I came across a fairly respectable illustrator called Arthur Rackman, whose work is quite linear and has the effect of an etching print.
