(3) K-3 Pieńkowski literally illuminates the biblical Christmas story. With a daring combination of design elements and techniques, he creates a cohesive look that provides plenty of visual subtext for those who are challenged by the beautiful but difficult text of the King James Bible. Each spread contains a gilded initial capital and a silhouetted illustration with a colorful airbrush background.
