Winter 2017 Cover Art Friendship II Catrin Welz-Stein
WINTER 2017 COVER ART Friendship II Catrin Welz-Stein German Graphic Designer Catrin Welz-Stein has been painting since childhood, as she admits she was almost born with a pencil in her hand. Catrin always wanted to do something related to the arts. She has graduated from Graphic Design in Darmstadt, Germany and then worked for different advertising agencies in Germany, USA and Switzerland. Her work is a mix of vintage photos, old pictures and illustrations digitally assembled to create those beautiful images. She is mostly inspired by surrealism, fairy tales, folklore and medieval times. Catrin Welz-Stein finds inspiration in Fantasy, children stories, medieval, Jugendstil, Folklore and Surrealism. I am inspired by the work of Nicoletta Ceccoli, Kelly Rae Roberts, Sabrina Ward Harrison, Olaf Hajek, Maggie Taylor, Natalie Shau, Colette Calascione and Nazario Graziano, and many more. Her work can be found at catrinwelzstein.blogspot.com the oddville press Promoting today’s geniuses and tomorrow’s giants. WWW.ODDVILLEPRESS.COM STAFF Publisher Mike Coombes Managing editor J.

Hanley Contributing editor Ashley Dailey Contributing editor Chuck Lemoine Contributing editor Heather Rose DISCLAIMER For some reason, since the nineteenth century, it has been perfectly normal in Western culture to write about murder, violence, cannibalism, drug-taking and other terrifying experiences without putting in a disclaimer. But ordinary, everyday experiences, such as being naked, using swear words or having sexual inter- course, are considered unsuitable for impressionable children. Odd though the Oddville Press has always been, we think it wise to adhere to convention in this case, so parental discretion is advised.
