The Land of 1000 Words
Another illustration made for a children’s magazine to go with a short story (chance it might get published but so far I haven’t been lucky so I’m not counting on it =P ).
It’s about a princess who sees an old man in a mirror, and he turns out to be a wizard. He then takes her to the Land of 1000 Words, where everything is made out of words.
A bit of an experiment again with this one. The background is made out of pieces of newspaper, on which I painted the image with ink. And then I cut out the letters and glued them to the image, and touched it all up a bit with coloured pencils. =)

You’ve been very experimental with this one and your experimenting has clearly worked fine.
Ine Spee replied
Thank you! It was really fun to experiment with different materials, and it gave a nice result I think. =)

this is a really nice piece. i wish i could wrap my head around multimedia to execute it like this.
Ine Spee replied
Thank you very much for the nice compliment. =D
No multimedia was used for this though (if you mean computers at least), it’s all done by hand. =)
Norman Dapito
nah, i wasn’t talking about computers. i was talking about how you used collage, ink, colored pencil, etc. my work tends to lean towards one medium at a time. that’s why i admire artists who can use different mediums to such cool effect.
Ine Spee replied
Well all I can say is experiment! =)
I’d never really done much with these mediums before either, but I tried them out anyway and it worked pretty well. Just try, and you might find something you really like to use. =D
