This illustrated book was inspired by the writings of Henry David Thoreau.
Written in 1854, the book Walden documents Thoreau's journey as he took life abode in the woods for two years. His diary reflected the simplified lifestyle as he explored the human spirit and the connection with nature. The pattern swatch below was inspired by my own observations with nature and are applied throughout the illustrations.
