Small worlds
Lasting wonder.
A planned illustration study with a cover and four interior spreads. A quieter, paper-toned presentation gives the story room to breathe.
A clear objective.

- Use original or authorised story text and reference material.
- Protect text-safe areas, gutters and character continuity.
- Confirm print specifications with the publisher before preparing files.
A story, taking shape.
