can't stop won't stop. from the edge of the deep green sea, yet again. written for the 2020 @cssns, this story is one of the most fun things i've worked on and it is easy to come back to it each time i want to try a new thing with the art or the binding technique. this one is a quarto (letter) "paperback" with a paste paper cover. binding technique inspired by @chubsonthemoon.
version 1: paste paper sealed with pearlescent fixatif before printing, then inked over with gel pens and foil quil for color and effect. new title page art inspired by a tattoo in the story. incredible watercolor from @mariakov81, always. i also changed up the typeset, making a more readable and easier-to-deal-with center ornament out of lunar phase dingbats and adding an epilogue to the story.
version 2: inkjet print on paste paper, cover design by me, inked with a foil quill heat transfer pen. spine titling with foil quill on japanese shibori paper.
