There was a girl who talked to geese
She understood them and they her
One day she looked into a crystal stream
And saw in its bed a diamond
She picked it up and placed it in her hair
As she did so she turned into a geese
It was then revealed that the other geese
She magically had understood
Were once human like her
- Girl and the Geese by CocoRosie
This is my final project for one of my illustration courses. We had to create a narrative sequence using 3-6 panels based on text of our choice. I chose to illustrate this poem off of The Adventures of Ghosthorse and Stillborn, using graphite and watercolours.
I designed my illustrations to work individually as panels, but they also unfold as one long scroll, with the scenes weaving into each other. You can see the whole panel when its all together here, and hopefully I will be able to photograph the entire booklet it comes in.
