My contribution to the 2021 Rusty Quill Big Bang! Binding, graphic design, and layout by me. Linocut for the cover designed by Stan Stanley, carved and printed by me. Bound in custom silk dupioni and linen bookcloth, moiré endpapers, and hand-dyed linen thread using a blackstitch binding technique I developed for this project. 

Getting to work with these two unimaginably talented artists has been an absolute privilege. The Silver Gleam of Trees is an epic, utterly brilliant daemon AU that takes the RQG characters to places I could never even imagine. Beautifully written and wildly creative—it’s truly an extraordinary accomplishment, and I can’t recommend it enough! And Stan, I’m such a huge fan of yours, and getting to print your work in one of my bindings is a total dream come true. 

Thanks so much to @pilesofnonsense​ for all your work on this incredible event. It’s been a blast, and I couldn’t be prouder of what we created together.

HEY IT’S TIME FOR THE RQBB2021!

I worked with the amazing @banashee who wrote the amazing fic https://banashee.tumblr.com/post/661155155418497024/show-chapter-archive

My @pilesofnonsense RQ Big Bang piece made for ‘’The End Of World With You’’ by the wonderful @elledritchorror , where a not-quite-family must stay found to survive the Eldritch Apocalypse. 

“Can you tell me your name?”

They whispered something out, a quiet noise like it pained them to make it, “M-Martin?”

Ahhh!! Second year of participating in the Rusty Quill Big Bang and I had the honor of working with GhostChoir!
