Lillian Chestney’s Arabian Nights caught my eye the most out of the selection for the week. The style that won me over is best described as an art nouveau rebirth. Everything about the work was vibrant and whimsical. I really wish I would have been able to see a hard copy, I don’t think the pdf scans do the artwork justice.
I had already been exposed to the Arabian Nights tales when I was much younger so I was vaguely familiar with them. The way the panels were laid out would at time become extremely detailed and intricate. While it was difficult to comprehend what was going on at times, I found myself far too engrossed with the craftsmanship that it didn’t bother me at all.
