Day 31 – Filor

Filor is no delicate Fleur-de-lys. He lives in the pages of “The Little Princess Of Bohemia” and is a far cry from his delicate little sister fleurs. He is convinced that his place is not in a fairy tale book and so he has been training to grow big and strong and go live in the pages of “The Aru Brotherhood”, a Japanese manga comic. He just doesn’t know how to get out!

As a typography fan and all things curvy and classic, I have a love affair with Fleurs, sketching different kinds often in my moleskin. I also love inventing new kinds of scrolls and ornate dividers. I wanted to do a fleur-de-lys that was unlike any I had ever seen because they are usually so delicate and ethereal. I made a muscular one who hates being in his fairy tale book and wants to flex his muscle in some manga comic!
