Harry and Zanna are the British husband and wife team of illustrators for Papio Press. These talented artists show how their work can be translated into different kinds of prints including wall art, cards, calendars as well as wonderful enamel jewelry.

Their style reminds me of medieval tapestries with their colorful animal themes and richly decorated botanical backgrounds. Every piece holds so much detail and wonder.











Story Telling Tapestries of the Middle Ages
We often think of medieval castles as cold stony places because that's what is left today. But in truth, medieval people loved color. The rich and powerful had beautiful tapestries made to adorn the walls of their homes. The intricately woven tapestries were status symbols full of symbolic meanings. They also told stories about romance, chivalry, mythology, nature as well as biblical tales.Plus, they acted as insulation to the cold stone walls!
