HISTORY
Nomadic Aitch originally hails from Romania but prefers not to put down roots in any one place, as new scenery inspires and invigorates her tactile; folky illustrations and a constant string of exhibitions in cities across the continent pushes her technique further. Her dreamy characters hide amongst William Morris-esque gardens and bring to mind a bright and bold reincarnation of Victorian melancholy while still retaining a strong sense of her Romanian heritage.
ROMANIAN DESIGN WEEK APPEARANCES
2018 // 10 illustrated book covers
A World Full of Animal Stories
This book is a beautiful and interesting extravaganza of folktales and legends that celebrate animals and culture. The stories are brought to life as we travel the globe to Africa, Asia, North and South America, Europe, Australia and Oceania, and are accompanied all the way through by Aitch's charming illustrations.
The Beginning of the World in the Middle of the Night
„The Beginning of the World in the Middle of the Night” is a collection of twelve haunting stories; modern fairy tales brimming with magic, outsiders and lost souls. The illustrated cover reflects that playful strangeness through symbolism and colour choice.
The River of No Return
Time travel, romance, Regency period, and dubious secret societies. The cover had to match the elegant drama of this doomed time traveler.
The Bear and the Nightingale
Magic and whimsy transport you back to medieval Rus’ times, to a place thick with forests and wild beasts. The cover depicts Vasya’s journey through the deep crisp glistening snows.
The Girl in the Tower
Sequel to „The Bear and the Nightingale.”
The Night Brother
The Night Brother shifts tantalizingly between day and night, exploring questions of identity, sexual equality and how well we know ourselves and the cover is a play on this tough duality core.
A Skinful of Shadows -paperback and hardcover
The eye catching cover was painted in watercolours and black ink. Perfect match for a haunted book.
Five Children and It, The Phoenix and the Carpet, The Story of the Amulet -3 volume series
Never out of print since 1902. The book cover illustrations follow the fantastical adventures of five siblings in the Victorian times of E. Nesbit, the grandmother of children’s fantasy literature.
