The binding of The Red Fairy Book [link] , The Folio Society, 2008 [link]).

Once again, the gold blocking is better seen in real life, which is a slight pity here, since there is rather a lot of it. I had to produce the artwork for this in seperations, so each colour (including the black line) was done seperately, in black ink (which meant I had to imagine what the colours will look like, though obviously I had a colour rough planned out first), and on a sheet of its own. All the layers then had to register and match correctly. The blocking naturally results in a little 'spreading' of the colours, so the lines are thicker than I'd like them to be, but there we are...

Buckram, blocked in three colours and gold with my original design.

This is one of the most beautiful books on my shelf. I love red cloth & gilt pictorial bindings anyway, but this is simply outstanding. Happy to find you on DeviantArt.

oh my god.
For two years now, since I saw this book in a friend's library, I have wondered who the artist is, because I was instantly enchanted by this beautiful cover illustration.
To find your work here on dA is an absolute joy!
Please excuse me while I +fav half your gallery, and add you to my watch list :heart:

Isn't this book avaliable/avaliable in England any more? The link doesn't work for me now...
I do hope it's still possible for me to get.

I've learned that it's sold out, I'm afraid. :( Perhaps someone might have a copy they want to sell at some point, however...

So am I crazy or was this hand printed? Either way it's really extremely gorgeous. I can't find the words to say it.

It was blocked by the publisher (more precisely, it was sent by the publisher to Lachenmaier, Reulingen, Germany to be blocked) from my design.
