Spent the afternoon recreating Dorian Gray’s desk (or at least, what I imagine his desk to be like) ♥ The newspaper is a replica of one from 1895, the closest I own to the book’s setting. There’s wine, naturally, cherries, and an unfinished letter to Sybil beginning “Dear Sybil, my Rosalind, my Juliet, I have never been so happy…” I refrained from including paints/paint brushes, as much as I wanted to, because they wouldn’t feature on an authentic Dorian Gray desk. Basil was the artist after all.

I’m slowly adding the new portrait range into my Etsy shop. Both of these brooches - William Shakespeare and Jane Austen - are now available!

I post everyday about books (and my drawings, and often tea and cake.)

Excited to share new work for New York Times bestselling and Eisner award-winning creator Jeff Lemire (Netflix’s Sweet Tooth, Black Hammer, Gideon Falls) — the publication design of a limited, and oversized hardcover edition collecting the bestselling MAZEBOOK series (published by Dark Horse Comics). Bringing the Mazebook to life through design, the publication features a cloth cover with embroidery, foil stamping, a color ribbon and gilding, signed tip-in plate and a rich backmatter section featuring illustrations by guest artists and Jeff’s notes on the creation of Mazebook.
This caps the creative journey we embarked on when I joined Jeff and Dark Horse Editor Daniel Chabon to develop the publication design and visual identity for the landmark, best-selling series.

ALTDo I post these too often? Probably.
