Alexis Deacon   Book projects: Rumi's Dream

Rumi's Dream

Alexis was commissioned by A F Harrold to illustrate one of his short stories which A F had decided to publish himself as a rather endearing small booklet.

He said: 'It's about a girl called Rumi who gets eaten by a bear on the first page (very minor spoilers!), but that's not the end. A few nights later the bear begins to dream a dream that it's fairly sure isn't his own dream, and so the story unfolds them there.'

Here are some of the illustrations – I think Alexis found a perfect way to suggest that we are in a dream.

You can read more about the project here, and also buy the book.
