This was a project from a while ago. One of my dream projects was to illustrate American Gods for the Folio Society. (This was before they actually published a version.) Anyway, here’s how I would have illustrated American Gods for Folio Society.
Theres a dream scene in the book where Shadow, the main character, meets the spirit of America (who is not a god). He meets this buffalo headed man who he is scared of, and he hears a voice. However, Shadow realizes the voice is actually coming from the fire. I wanted a way to show both the buffalo headed man and the fire which may actually be the spirit of America.
