bookbinding – Saint Beckett

Always the bridesmaid….

…..never the bride.

Three times second prize.

Do androids dream…

…of their favourite book.

Bookbinding and illustrations by me, because why not. Before they take over.

Some old tales…..

….some new techniques.

Bi ding up some old tales.

I’ve started something…

…..I shouldn’t have.

I make my own problems.

I am entering some bookbindings for a show, but decided I should illustrate the books as well. Nobody asked me to. I’m my own worst enemy.

The Humird….

….is worried about the Humog.

I’m worried about more than that.

I’ve been making my own books from works I can get from the internetty. I print in sections and sew them up using the continuous binding techniques which is super quick. Then I make paper covers and do terrible covers.

I’m a little curious….

…..as to how we got here.

We find ourselves…..

….on the Island where we belong.

A book reimagined.

A friend bought me this book while visiting him in Gothenburg. The covers had fallen off, but I noticed that it was missing a few illustrations, so I was wondering if it was worth it. I did an internet search , but couldn’t really find any of the illustrations inside.

Then I thought I could just make up the illustrations myself. I used the interweb to translate so I suppose I did some sort of approximation of what the hell happening.

And that’s what I did.

Restored and reimagined.
