Description

"The soul has illusions
as the birds have wings
— it is supported by them."

~Victor Hugo (1802-1885)

Here's a chance to own a print of one of my original drawings, and a journal...all in ONE. The first page of the journal has a black&white print of one of my original drawings "Gravity, In Defiance Of" (based on Robert Parke Harrison's photograph “Flying Lessons”) which I've discreetly signed, and is captioned with the above quote.

The leather is a soft dark brown suede with a hint of indigo in coloring, with smooth grain on the reverse. It measures approximately 5.5" x 4.25" and over 1" thick.

There are 320-pages (both sides) of good quality white unlined 28 lb./105 gsm writing paper with handtorn edges - it's acid free, archival, and 3rd party certified to the standards of the Forest Stewardship Council (high quality paper with a conscience!). The book opens flat so you can write or draw all the way into the margins. The binding is stitched with natural beeswaxed Irish linen bookbinding thread, visible on the spine.

Each book comes with a little "card of interest" containing information about your book (the history of the binding, the type of stitch) - which makes a lovely addition as a gift.
