After Thomas and I wrote The Fall together, I decided to make a scroll of it as a gift. Thomas is color blind, so I tried to focus on colors I was pretty sure he could see, which meant the ROY end of the spectrum and grays. I’m not sure where the inspiration came from to make it look like stained glass, but I liked the idea enough that I may try it again some day.

Materials: 11″x14″ Bristol, ruler, pencil, eraser, Ames lettering guide, micron pen, cartridge ink fountain pen, Winsor and Newton gouache, gold paint
