Stars Rain Down
by Chris J. Randolphhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9359655-stars-rain-down

"It was the look of a little girl who'd just been told that unicorns were not only real, but also the source of hamburger meat."

The Reading: endpaper illustration for Steven Erikson's Dust of Dreams, as part of The Broken Binding's special edition of the Malazan Book of the Fallen!
It's one of my favourite fantasy series so I was thrilled to work on it. Huge thanks to AD Petrik Leo for trusting me with this piece!I'll add some close-ups below, as well as a link to an article about my design choices and thought process, since it was a pretty complex and highly symbolic piece :)

In May I spent a week in Cheryl Jacobsen's Gothic & Vellum class with Friends of Calligraphy, learning to write and paint directly on parchment. This book seemed to magically come together over the week. The fish just seemed to be calling me through the hole in the parchment. My favorite part of working on skin was turning its “flaws” into features.
"The Fish" is finished and available for purchase — contact me, if you're interested.
I've also got a second skin in the studio waiting to become the next book. Just need the time.

A book that truly does take some heavy lifting. It was created by Daniel González with assistance from paper engineer Matthew Reinhart and weighs about a ton. The pop-up book, Luceros y Penumbras, celebrates the Los Angeles Public Library's centennial and features images of the city and the Central Library.
