Well, it's official: I'm a college graduate! Here are a couple books I finished recently. This first one is a cake-shaped book for my little sister's birthday:
Then I made this book and box so I could have a little book that was a perfect cube:
And finally, this is an altered book that I made out of a thrift store find called "The Adventures of Philip, Volume 2." It was published in 1900, and I thought the title was so hilarious that I had to illustrate it. The author's name was Thackeray, but I thought that in my story, Thackeray should be a monster that Philip has to defeat:
Everything inside is carved into the actual book pages and painted/collaged; the dirigible is a pop up!
In the end, Philip just turns out to be a dorky guy dreaming of adventure from his study. Aww. The middle panel has holes in it, so you can see from spread to spread:
Later tonight, I'll post pictures of my exit show installation. But for now, thanks for reading about the books!

ReplyDeleteI've heard that from a few people! That's Brian Dettmer, and I had the pleasure of hearing a lecture by him recently; I love his work!
