The Inspiration
The artists who think outside of the realistic box. They explore tools that create marks that create works of art that inspire people like me. Overall they make art that just puts me in a really good mood. I can look at their work and feel at ease with not having to find deep meaning in it. It is simply beautiful just for it’s visual intrigue. Some things so simple can be so bold.

The Brand
I wanted to create a purely analog brand that hinted at the concept of the book.
