GOOD OMENS
It was 2020. We were all stuck in our houses with tons of free time and little to do. It felt like the end of the world. In the middle of all that chaos, I found myself discovering this show about an angel and a demon working together to stop the Apocalypse.

And I also thought it would be fun to do a little pattern
with elements related to the story:
Alright! Now I can finally star showing you the book illustrations.
