Have you ever wished that an entire epic novel would just fit onto one page? Well, your wish just came true! (In a very unique way that is.)

These full text novel posters are artistic renditions of classic stories, where the text of an entire novel is fit onto one large poster.

I really like The Wonderful Wizard of Oz poster since this story is well loved, and the design captures one of the most memorable settings in a minimalistic way.

With one week until Halloween left, kids and adults alike are getting ready for their share of sugar and scares. That’s why I decided to feature some ghoulish artwork to get ready for a night of trick or treating!

Here’s a classic trick or treating scene of miniature monsters awaiting their Halloween treats. I love the intricacy of this design and the boldness of the characters.
