Darklore

Darklore is 'a journal of exceptional observations, hidden history, the paranormal and esoteric science'. Greg Taylor of the Daily Grail asked me to design the cover and the illustrations for Darklore Volume I. Greg wanted the book to evoke the atmosphere of dusty, leather-bound, Victorian occult books and this is how it ended up.
