Hello again!
Fresh off the printing press once more, here's the latest lino printed illustration for Damnable Tales.
'The Black Reaper' by Bernard Capes, first published in the collection ‘At a Winter’s Fire’, 1899.
An ungodly farming community pays a hefty price after a stranger is murdered during a drunken encounter in the wheat fields. Fire and brimstone stuff!
I rue the day I decided to include the wheat field from the story in the design - took flippin' ages! Very pleased with the result, though. I think this is one of my favourites so far.
Next up: Edith Nesbit's 'Man-Size in Marble'. If I stick to my timetable, I should have that ready this time next week.
