For those who wonder how the stories are illustrated, edited and brought to the book, your curiosity ends here…at least I hope so.
There are many ways one may choose to create illustrations but let’s simplify it and mention two main methods; traditional and digital. Basically, traditional illustration means the artist creates them using real pens, brushes, paint, paper, canvas, water, coffee… you name it, we use it! Digital illustrations on the other hand require an electronic device (like a pad, tablet, and of course an electronic pen).

Dark secrets hidden in the soul
Lost hope devours futures whole.
The beauty of the mountainside
Hold darkness that covers wide.
Fears are waterfalls hidden deep
Death stalks there, touching all
Leaving wife and son weep.

The above artwork is by André Mangabeira. He created this stunning piece by using charcoal and pastels on a moleskin sketchbook.
André based it on a scene from the Turkish movie – ‘Once upon a time in Anatolia’.
I read the plot and followed Andre’s lead basing a short poem on the essence of the story.
Do visit André’s blog.
André has kindly given me permission to use this piece of artwork.
