artwork for the Third Place Press edition of H. Beam Piper's SF classic, LITTLE FUZZY. The benefit of being both an illustrator and book designer is that I can do the artwork and immediately incorporate in into a cover design.
Done on Sketch Club for iPad. ~2 hours to complete.

kusa awase is a sort of game popular among the aristocrats in Heian era(9th century). they bring along various plants and compare eachother to vie the winner. the idea of the game is reflected into the design of this book.
for this facsimile edition, glossy transparent ink and silk screen technique were used to recreate the surface of Japanese lacquer, which had been used to print the black part of the original binding. to use lacquer in printing was the designer Hashiguchi's idea. this was rare and thought to be very inovative idea then(and today).
草合わせとは平安貴族たちの間で流行った遊び「もの合わせ」の一つで、互いに持ち寄った草花を競い合わせ、優劣を競ったもの。その遊びが装幀のモチーフとなっています。
初版の装幀では、黒い部分に漆が使われました。これは装幀家・橋口五葉による斬新な発想でした。復刻版では、黒いインクの上に艶のある透明インクを何層も重ねて漆の質感を再現しています。

It's still drying. I used way too much glue (what do bookbinders use, anyway? modge podge? I don't know). But, when it's folded back up, it's a mostly square book with red covers and an awesome ribbon, and seven square fold-out-pages (four shown on one side, three on the back). I think it's awesome. I want to make Six. Dozen.
I learned about Lotus Books from this post, and my students in pre-K might wind up making Lotus Books in the shape of dragons as a result of me making this book.

These are the first three books of the Wrinkle in Time series by Madeleine L'Engle that I redesigned. The books are about time traveling, magical creatures and faraway planets. I repeated the high contrast of light and dark to demonstrate the battle between good vs. evil. The most evil thing within the books is this huge black mass of black clouds that is called "the Dark Thing"
I took all of the photography myself.
