The book involves a woman who sees distorted nightmarish realities, one which includes visions of a monstrous doppelgänger, or paranormal double, that eats her victims.
The original illustration (above) was painted with acrylics on textured A4 paper. The type was done with white acrylic on glass. - The painting was scanned before being coloured and chopped on Adobe Photoshop. The image above shows the glass/acrylic type treatment placed over the printed image.
- The printed image and glass were then scanned. Blu-tack kept the glass and paper aligned correctly during the scanning.
- The image above is the final cover, which prints at 6 by 9 inches.
