Another of my students projects, this is Luke’s who is on my extended diploma course, he’ll have his pick of unis this year to do his degree at.

This project was all about designing two book covers using mixed media for a selection of classic novels, Luke chose Dr Jekyll and the time machine

FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING AT SOCIETY6 UNTIL SUNDAY!

sooooooooo now is a good time to buy some of my designs :)
(it is in dollars, but that just means it looks expensive - but in reality it is quite cheap! haha!!)

… There is Lord of the Rings, Doctor Who, Indiana Jones, plus other stuff! There are prints, phone cases/skins/laptop skins - I dont make much from each thing so it would be great if you can :) thank you!

Head here to buy them :) :)

So the store is all up and running, as some of you my know, Society 6 only allows you to collect a small margin on the work that you post, so whilst i’m probably never going to get much reward for this, at least the people that really wanted a print can go buy them!

Thanks for supporting me guys and gals :)

click me to go seeeeee!!

Jess, another one of my students, has produced book covers for books based on the range of Universal Monsters, using her illustration skills to produce some really good examples, first up is Frankenstein.

Never posted this one, Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

*Edit* I have no idea as to why on some of the reblogs the colour isnt correct - chalk me up confused!

Jonathan Safran Foer’s new book is insane.

Entitled “Tree of Codes,” it is a collection of die-cut pages from his favorite book, Bruno Schulz’s “The Street of Crocodiles.” Made as an exploration of “the pages’ physical relationship to one another” and the die-cut technique, Foer attempts to create a meaningful narrative with an existing text.

Printers didn’t want to touch it, saying “the book you want to make just cannot be made.” Until, of course a Belgian printer said Challenge Accepted, and this was made.
