Karen has been busy working
with acclaimed author Damian Flanagan on his latest work
Modern Gods.
The book is a 'fantasy satire' on the modern world told in the style of ancient mythologies. The commission is to make a series of illustrations referencing the text, but avoiding literal interpretation. These illustrations are a work in progress.
Modern Gods is due to be published in 2007.
