Progress being made on the art book!!! I love how this spread is looking. Text is by @ectafoole who is my narrative partner on this project and also just the coolest?? Go follow her.

Fun notes. The pattern (nonfloral) is stomach parasites by artist Ernst Haeckel, who's work is now in the public domain! I highly recommend checking it out. I altered the colors and made the illustrations into a repeating pattern like wallpaper

more bookbinding

this first one is definitely a favourite because the cover is a piece i painted, scanner and printed c:

its binding is coptic eith some spine decor

this one is dotted, illustrations for the cover are ernst haeckel, he's like my favourite scientific illustrator

I printed the pages myself bc i noticed not everyone is into sketchbooks and plain paper

fishess!! also secret belgian bookbinding

I've started to varnish the covers so the paper is water resistant and i think that was a pretty good move
