mvcreates: mvcreates: Color Palette Themes from Reclaiming Scheherezade RECLAIMING SCHEHEREZADE is a collection of illustrated blackout poems that exscinds Sir Richard Francis Burton’s 1885 translation of One Thousand and One Nights to retell five of history’s most beloved stories through an OwnVoices™ lens. In my illustrations for this project, I’ll be limiting myself to the exclusive use of the above palettes.

BLUE IS FOR piety and protection. WHITE IS FOR virtue, honor, and temperance. Tags below the cut!
