Owl-light Studio

One of my first attempts at combining lettering and foliage -- this was based on a William Morris design. I did it in gouache (pronounced 'gwosh'), a water-based paint which is opaque (ya can't see through it) as opposed to watercolour, which is supposed to be light and filmy. Anyway, this is pretty crude in the details but it's got a certain charm -- that would be the William Morris part!
