Su Blackwell's Fantastic Landscapes

Su Blackwell is an artist who turns inspiration from old books into magical settings for storytelling. She loves to spend time browsing the shelves in second-hand bookstores, seeking out books with stories that appeal to her sense of wonder.

She then tackles turning a text-based story into a visual representation - the physical book itself becomes an illustration of its written contents.

You can follow Su at Su Blackwell Studio and on Instagram.
