House of Leaves

Digital Illustration, 2025 Gorchart

It's a basic 8 page fold in way too big and it took me forever (I'd say about 30 hours over 3 months) and I'm so pumped about it. I beg of you, click on the pictures for quality.

All backgrounds are coloured ink + linocuts and some good old prints from actual leaves, then there's collage, collage from negative and film photographs I had from way back when I did a year in art school, also stitching and couloured pencil drawing. All texts by me as well. I had to repair an old typewritter my Dad had down in the basement just so I could type Johnny's bits :)) (so add another 10 hours for that).

My handwritting is terminally bad so I had a neat handed friend write the letters very small

It is unfortunatley too big and fragile to be scanned for reproduction but here's not very good pictures of the secret #8 that's on the other side of the fold :) - cat for scale.

picture that. in your dreams.

at long last: the house of leaves poster! I love this book so much. it is such a fucking pain in the ass to read at times but it's so so worth it.
