Pages in progress . . .



This project may take me forever to finish! It's something I work on when not working on other things, so its progression is quite slow.

These are pages for a series of three Japanese-style, ledger-style books. I laid them out on the floor in the office this morning where temporary sunlight enabled me to simply stand over them and shoot straight down.

Gotta say, it's rather cool to see them all spread out like this. And now, back to the studio...

Recent work . . . "Page 0419"

I am creating handmade Japanese ledger-style (daifuku) books, each page being a collage of old Japanese book pages, my own handmade papers, handmade prints, paint, and numerous other items.

I particularly liked how this page looked as a standalone image, and so brought it into the computer to make a digital print. This way I have the best of both worlds: cutting and pasting and painting in the studio, and then the computer processes afterwards, doing little tweakings here and there.
