The Frayed Atlantic Edge

Chapter break illustration

Chapter break illustration for The Frayed Atlantic Edge: A Historian’s Journey From Shetland to the Channel by David Gange (William Collins 2019).

David was looking for an image that would evoke the essence of his epic coastal voyage, on a very small scale, throughout the book. The velvet horn seaweed was drawn by hand in pen and ink. I also incorporated the illustration into bespoke bookmarks designed as promotional material.
