A green bookworm in its library, with a plethora of beloved books, both on the shelves & piled on the floor, including a hidden acrostic message for bibliophiles. Twisted with book love, the fantasy creature takes the form of a letter "B" for books, bibliomania, or bibliophile of course!

Signed archival giclée print reproduction of an original fantasy painting by Leah Palmer Preiss, executed in acrylics over a collaged background of text (scanned from an old dictionary, including the definition of "bibliophile"). One of a series of "Curiotype" paintings created for Anu Garg's A.Word.A.Day 2017

The print is 450+ dpi on heavy archival paper, using Epson UltraChrome inks for longevity & accurate color. The untrimmed paper size is 8.5"x11" (215.9mm x 279.4mm), with the live image available original size 6"x6" (152.4mm x 152.4mm) or enlarged to 8"x8" (203.2mm x 203.2mm). If you would like an even larger version, please see below.
