Aesop's Fables

A project for my illustration class: a cover for a collection of Aesop's Fables. Not gonna lie, when we were given the assignment I was a little bummed. It seemed like it might be a bit of a struggle to make it interesting, especially because of the template we had to work around. This ended up being my favorite piece from the semester though.

I chose to illustrate the Jay and the Peacock for the cover _{mostly because I have a mild obsession with peacocks} and give it a modern art nouveau twist.
