Illustrator Joost Stokhof (professionally known as 'The Things We Are') has teamed up with designer Nick Liefhebber to create a zine chock full of Greek mythology illustrations, entitled 'Chaos.'
The creative pair emulated the mosaic-style of Greek vase paintings, but restricted their color palette to those available via risograph printing, creating a visually arresting set of 13 images. Each graphic illustrates the tumultuous inception (and existence) of the Greek Gods, making it the perfect material for mythology buffs to feast their eyes on. However, these quirky, colorful graphics are sure to brighten your day, even if you're not an expert on Zeus and his pals on Mount Olympus.
The limited-edition zine is a brilliant nod to traditional Greek art, whilst injecting a fresh, contemporary twist to it.
