The Sick Rose

From The Sick Rose: Disease and the Art of Medical Illustration by Richard Barnett.

I love how the book cover and contents marry a more vintage illustrative style with modern sensibilities (use of the grid and sans-serif type). I’m interested to do something like this on a smaller scale for my project, perhaps to produce a book/booklet/magazine in this kind of vein.

  1. I really love the cover illustration of this book and the style of the illustrations here. Soft colours contrasted with these weird medical imagery. I can just imagine how fantastic if you’d incorporate colours into your own works too! I have a couple of books on medical illustrations that you’d enjoy, will pass them to you 🙂
