Book Concept

For my book, I decided to work with one of the groups of ideas I've been wanting to delve into on my own in depicting various dreams that I've recorded over a period of time -- though, save a few recent dreams, the one I chose to work with is the only remaining recorded dream I now have after my laptop got stolen this semester...

I wanted to work with lyrical prose and a somewhat surreal illustrative style which would go well with the text. This went so far as a visual parallel between the two -- I decided upon a font called Mom's Typewriter due to the fact that when I write, it's usually on a typewriter (especially now!) From there, I chose to incorporate a stamp-like quality to the images. I toyed with the idea of color, but ultimately decided to leave it black-and-white; I liked the starkness of the images and feel they go better with the text as is, and furthermore this makes reproduction of the work much easier -- I'm interested in making copies of this to either distribute as placed public art or for sale. Overall, I'm very happy with how this piece turned out.
