Expensive Freedom Capetown

This artwork, created for Lisolomzs upcoming fable Breathless, is an illustration where we see the young protagonist of the story pictured reigning in his Swan as he arrives on the scene. Breathless is a graphically expressed Fable in which this scene portrays a dramatic display of poise and power whilst juxtaposing the contentious relationship between man and nature through this fantastical artwork.
