After almost 8 months I can finally reveal my secret project, a fan bind of one of the most delicious Silco fics ever. Drink With Me was a monster of a book, and I had so much fun letting it get bigger and bigger. The cover art is gold, orange, and black heat transfer vinyl (that didn't want to photograph well on the spine)

The original plan was red, gold, and black for the color motif, but when I saw the name "whiskey" for a color of Duo cloth I had to. I had to. So the headbands have a dark brown instead of black to match the spine cloth. The endpapers were marbled by hand by a friend of mine on gold paper.

The typeset was the most involved I've ever done so far. I cannot stop myself from maximalist all the time, even when I'm trying to be subtle, which I wasn't, here. I went nuts with the flowers.

I commissioned the title page art from the wonderfully talented @celine-designs because I knew exactly what I wanted it to be and knew I'd need like 10 years to be able to draw it myself. It needed to be that moment. I took inspo from Celine's label design for the cover art.

She has made her home pride of place between two of my favourite books of all time, and is now the first thing I would grab in a house fire (after my cats) ✨✨✨
