Homer’s The Odyssey 🏛️

This is my first time attempting to deboss by hand without foiling. The gold and silver you see on the cover is calligraphy ink I tried to paint into the pattern.

Unfortunately, I’ve come to realize I don’t know how to use paintbrushes at all.

Epic: The Muscial Lyric Book

🪶

I hope this video will show the foiling process. I created a design for the cover digitally, then printed it in plain recycled paper (nothing thick at all). After securing the foil to the book cover, I lay the design over the foil and traced it with a foil quill, the nib of which is heated metal.

If you have never seen the original cover designs for this series, I don’t recommend looking them up. I’ve never liked them very much. It was for this reason that this series stayed in my mind as one that I knew I would rebind one day.

The book edges were marbled during the last SoCal Renegade Bookbinding Guild meet up earlier this year.

Ubik by PKD
⏰⏳📺

Here’s a reel that depicts what I intended to be the overall experience of holding and opening this book. The dust cover depicts the Ubik and the advertisement on the back in relatively normal fashion, only to be revealed as distorted and regressed once the dust cover is removed. All the ads for each chapter in the book are similarly designed.

The Man in the High Castle
By Philip K Dick

This rebind will be gifted to a Philip K Dick fan. The cover was printed on inkjet canvas.

The end papers were originally desktop wallpaper designs created by Caparzofpc on DeviantArt
