Here’s a little something from my internship. I drew leaves from trees of Minnesota.
First thing I did in Illustrated Notebook.
It’s fun! We get to deface books! This is the cinema of Dirk Bogarde, a British actor I’ve never head of.
The assignment is “afterlife” so I’m inventing a sort of cult pantheon and imagining what their idea of the afterlife would be like. These are the gods, Father, Uncle, Captain and Presidente.
I’ve been doing it all with colored pencil on acrylic, which is workin out pretty well.
Looooooook at the book I made yesterday. It’s the fanciest I’ve ever made. It’s bigger than usual because I never use small books. It’s Arches 140 lb watercolor paper inside and that stuff I usually use for the cover in “tobacco.” (I like my books to look like a Black and Mild.)
I used book glue and some acrylic medium mixed with “pearl white” pigment so there are some shiny parts inside and on the cover. The “book cloth” and “endpaper” are just some pulp paintings I had from Intro to Print Paper Book.

Want
First thing I made this summer. My parents gave me some money so I went and bought some $13 300 lb paper and made a book out of it. Not pictured: little brother book that looks the same but smaller I’m giving to a friend.
Now I have to fill it. Pressure to not mess up on awesome paper is overwhelming. (Not rly but I’m excited.)
MY NEW PROCRASTINATION METHOD
MAKE A BOOK
IT’S PRODUCTIVE
I DON’T UNDERSTAND
That one book turned into this book for my Print Paper Book final.
The pages repeat backwards with the reds and blues reversed.
