Le Bordambule

illustration, graphic design

I created five covers inspired by a made up theme. In order to create that theme, I mixed two words in one to create a new word with a new meaning.

Bordambule (curbstone walker) = bordure (curbstone) + funambule (tightrope walker).

The Bordambule could have been either a child girl or a boy so I decided that the main caracter has to be neutral and childlike.

Techniques : I used two techniques vectors and linocut (for main caracter and background).
