Stacey's Book / Petr's Entry

Since early childhood my imagination has been greatly influenced by Jules Verne's novels and the original illustrations to his amazing adventures in particular. 


I also grew up on watching films by a Czech legendary and visionary director Karel Zeman. He filmed a couple adaptations of Jules Verne's novels and managed to beautifully capture the atmosphere and beauty of Verne's worlds. Karel Zeman also filmed some original scores (including "Cesta do praveku" - a Jurassic Park of a sort except filmed in early 30s).


This piece is an attempt to tribute these pioneers of adventure and imagination who so much and lastingly shaped my sense of aesthetics! Ink drawing, Photoshop brushes & 2 layers of tracing paper.


Stacey's book's got a great flow so far!
