Illustrations:
Sam Winston uses his classic style of typographical backgrounds merged with ink sketches that create beautiful and one of a kind scenes. He uses the words of classic books to create mountains, oceans, caves, and more. The characters he creates melt into these scenes and yet stand apart as beautiful and unique creations.
