Physically, a bit of a challenge to bind; emotionally, extremely satisfying from start to finish. Very happy with this one!

I have made a 210mm x 210mm book before, but not one with this number of pages at this gsm! This beautiful book weighed in at a little over 900grams. Definitely the biggest book I have made to date.

A special commission book I did recently!

210mm x 210mm
210gsm mixed media paper, hand-trimmed
176 pages (352 double sided)
Coptic stitch binding with French link stitches

holds hand! 💖

A purple and teal illustration of a woman in a warped stadium. She's looking up at a screenshot of the Publishers Marketplace announcement for House Hunters. The announcement reads: "Kelly Bull's House Hunters series, the author's debut, about a woman who must fight her neighbors in a series of deadly battles in lieu of paying rent, pitched as Squid Game meets Scott Pilgrim, to Tess Banta at 23rd Street, in a good deal, in a pre-empt, in a three-book deal, by Jane Chun at Transatlantic Literacy Agency (world)."

Hello!! 🥳 I'm very excited to introduce HOUSE HUNTERS, a graphic novel that's been simmering in my head for almost a decade.

Thank you so much to @janechunlit.bsky.social for being this story's #1 supporter, and to Tess for finding it a home at 23rd Street. I can't wait to share this with you all!

I haven’t been on bsky much but AAAAAAAA CONGRATS 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

I don’t have a lot of tools other bookbinders might use, so I had to improvise a lot. I’m not sure I’ll stick with this method, but I’m glad I gave it a proper try, and I’m really happy with how this turned out. 💖📚 Thank you to this book for being so patient and kind to me.

I tried the case binding method for the first time since I attempted it for a uni project a bajillion years ago and probably failed the entire subject (uni was rough man).

Now that I am a much more confident bookbinder nearly 20 years later, this is my redemption arc. 🙌

This style of binding is still experimental for me, but I’m pleased with how this one turned out! 💖📚

Happy Pride month, all! Way back in 2018 I made these galaxy pride flags. They were shared many thousands of times, featured on Vice, and even made their way onto book covers and into video games.

Here are the original ones I created (in no particular order!) so Bluesky can have them too. 💙

Before and after! Did some renovations on my space at In.Cube8r Melbourne Central 🙌🏼🌟
