How did you make this work:
Fantasma by Tanja Tiekso is a travelogue, essay and voyage of discovery. I was inspired by the qrotesque ornaments of ancient Rome, where human, animal and plant motifs blend together to form hybrid creatures. The images were drawn with pencil on paper, scanned and digitally coloured. I have also designed the typography for the cover. The work was commissioned by S&S publishing house.
