No. 094, in ten platesBohemian Letters

Bohemian Letters is pure pen and ink: solid black pools for hair and boots, fine hatching for thatch and stone, and a parchment ground the colour of milky tea. There is no other colour at all. What ties the ten plates together is a single character type drawn again and again: a tall, languid woman with a cloud of black curls, a loose blouse or a fringed jacket, and an expression that suggests she has somewhere better to be.

The settings are rustic and sunlit. She leans in a stone doorway with a sword at her hip, stands under a wooden eave with a cigarette and a potted plant, poses in flared trousers in front of a tiled farmhouse, smiles beneath a slate roof while birds scatter overhead. In two plates a handful of stray letters drift through the air beside her, which is where the collection gets its name. One portrait swaps the black curls for a paler, wind-tossed mane and a long dark coat on a hillside.

Every composition is a tall standing figure, so the face usually lands in the upper third. The clock will sit over sky or roofline and brush the top of her hair; plates such as The Smile and Stray Letters leave more open parchment up there than the doorway portraits. On the Home Screen the cream background behaves like a light wallpaper, and the big black shapes of hair and clothing give the icons a strong silhouette to sit against.

This room suits lovers of vintage comics, rock-and-roll wardrobes and anything boho. Garden Path and Flared and Smoking hang here free in full resolution; the other eight portraits are premium.
