I just finished my latest book in the Borowsky Center for Publication Arts at The University of the Arts in Philadelphia, PA. "Behind the Statue of St. Peter" is a macabre story of a can do town that must may not. A satirical look at a group of people with such a loss of hope that they've turned self-destructive and cannibalistic. A 36 page hand, illustrated book, drawn with rapidographs and then transformed into film-litho plates- and finally printed offset on Mowhawk Superfine (100 pound text weight) in the Borrowsky center. The book was an excuse to draw more than anything else, but was also inspired by the work of Edward Gorey (you may also notice that I quote a few other artists as well).
Here's a peek at a few of the spreads, to get the full story you'll either need to track me down, or buy one! It was produced in an edition of 100, concertina binding with a false spine.
happy holidays!
