Les Couleurs de Tiburce

About the book

36 pages of gorgeousness! Blues, greys, yellows. Shadows and apparitions. Fierce and tender characters. Brilliant reds, powerful turquoise and shades of black and brown.

Sketches of lean, taciturn men and unyielding women, from mountain trails obscured by snow drifts to fantasy characters prepared to protect and engage in battle without submission. 

Snow is notoriously hard to get right, and in Les Couleurs de Tiburce, it is not only done right, you can smell the damp, smell the hard, crisp edges as the darkening skies press close.  The intensity of a horsemen's gaze, surrounded by ghouls.  It is all so wonderful!
