If I Survive You. Booker '23

My biblionautic chums and friends.
After 3 days teaching a wonderful group of students at my old art college... Lincoln College of Art and Design.... It is back to the bench in Studio 5, and back to the Booker Binding 'If I Survive You' by Jonathan Escoffery.
With the forwarding nearing the end, much sanding of areas of the book to ensure a smooth as the structure will be a variation of the minimalist tight back style I have been working on. It is not often that what is under the skin (as it were) of a book. Now it is time to concentrate on the design, so the experimentation with colour, image and material use begins.
The image is from a very famous Jamaican Tourist Board poster of the 1970's with various colour applications using a variety of mediums.
The design is formulated but there will be a little bit of chaos thrown in as well.
Please note.... there are other studios/binderies/ doing stuff, spelling and grammar. Please further note, the opinion of the author may change at any moment. This is due to having an open mind of sorts.
