Publisher's Synopsis
A giant collection of over 300 Ink and Wash illustrations from Hayden Fryer.
This comprehensive second volume in a series of the artist's illustration collections presents the heavily curated favourite selections of Ink and Wash Illustrations from HAYDEN FRYER, a Blue Mountains (Sydney, Australia) based illustrator, writer and artist.
Focusing on the years between 2019 and 2021, Volume Two of this monograph series features a deeply curated collection of pieces born out of experimentation with the ink and wash medium. With a specific focus on never before printed display pieces and a diverse collection of ink and wash illustrations from a series of dedicated sketchbooks collated over the presented years.
An artist with an ever evolving artistic style, Hayden's Ink and Wash illustration work draws influences from traditional Ink Painting techniques with emotive brush work, minimalism of design and focused through the storytelling elements of sequential illustration.
For the fans, this series of Art books is a fantastic bookshelf compendium to his most recognised sequential works; BRISTLEMOUTH: A COVE HORROR, A YULETIDE FLAME, COBBER, DARKEST NIGHT: LOVE and BILLY: DEMON SLAYER. All which are a part of a set of uniquely stylised comicbook writing and illustrative works, which have been exhibited and seen print in publications all around the world.
Featuring an introduction by Tim McEwen, an award winning cartoonist who has been making comics since the 1980s, most notably the (also award-winning) internationally distributed comic Greener Pastures.
