Illustrations for Hebeloma's Clockwise Cadenza (2023)
by the Staff of the Poison Pie Publishing House
The staff of the Poison Pie Publishing House rendered several characters from books published in recent years by the PPPH as shrinky dinks.
This page features translations of the final illustrations for the musical score, Hebeloma's Clockwise Cadenza, which was being serially published on a daily basis in 2023 on the blog of the Poison Pie Publishing House. The original artwork was created by street artist, Ms. Julia K. Keffer of Phoenix, Arizona. Hebeloma's Clockwise Cadenza recounts the adventure of Melanippe, one of the maidens offered to the minotaur by King Minos, immediately after she escaped from the labyrinth.
