Genesis cover by Matthew Scotland
biro pen and felt-tips
i’ve been looking at the Celtic manuscripts, enjoying how those far-out monks brought their artistic flair to illustrate the bible. here i go for the book of genesis, a mystical masterpiece with a lifetime of wisdom within.
as often is the case, the imagery grows from my doodling in the book

Hey Matthew – yes, the best feeling getting lost in art and leaving the world behind for a time..
This is gorgeous Matt. The Celtic designs really set it off and the blues of your central image are sooo rich and well-suited to the subject. Love this!
