“[The show] is a new series of 2d works that transition from sketchy to highly detailed paint strokes exploding with bright vivid colors,” a statement says. “Their complementary illustration style brings to life an alter dimensional world of imagined archetypal creatures that appear friendly at first glance. Tunstall’s confident female characters explore this adventure filled with brightly armored, multi-faced challengers.”
