Until Next Time

So, as most who know me know, I got to art school. This semester I focused on making artist books. The first was this little bird, and the second was this box I call Heirloom. I mostly just call it a box.
This piece is constructed out of paper and decorated with ink, water colour, and gouache.
I hope to film both of these books in full pop-up action within the next few months, so keep a heads up. 
cheers & enjoy!

EDIT
Thank you everyone! I am very glad that this piece has amused many people. I am hugely flattered by peoples kind comments and offers to buy this piece. Unfortunately, it is not currently available for purchase. It had a home before I posted the pictures.
However, I do plan to video document all of my pop up books so that everyone can view them.
Thanks again

















And finally, fully assembled:



Thanks!

    2. It would be awesome if you could self-publish this and sell it on a larger scale. I know I would love this, too, and I know a fair amount of people who would love to have something like this, too.

      Just a thought.

      This is gorgeous and ridiculously creative. When I saw it on i09, I said "unicorns and science, the convergence is complete!" Thanks for sharing.

  6. This might be the prettiest thing I've ever seen. Such exquisite work, both morbid and beautiful. I especially like the little deer on the box top, the expression of the stretched-out neck, the butterflies around the eyes and every inch of the forest inside. I'd like to have it as a central piece in my home.

    Would you please let me share one of the pictures on my blog? I won't re-upload it, just use your original url and link back to this post. I'd love to show it to everyone I know.

    Sincerely,
    Alicia

  12. Whaaaaat? I wish I could take the things out of my brain & apply them as well as you did. This is amazing!

  13. It is such a wonderfully touching piece,so victorian on the outside and inside all delicate pastels and childlike faeryland images, from the dead unicorn foetus to the butterflies.. This would be a marvellous tool to use in the explanation of the concept of death to children..

  15. Nature recycles its own....beauty comes from death.

  18. Please, please, please find a publisher for this precious artwork.

  19. Omg this is the most awesome thing I've ever seen. You really need to show it to someone and maybe write a story to go with it. Its truly great on its own, but would also be a killer sorry book, lol. I just love it, if i had the cash i would definitely sponsor you and would be your agent for all your awesome Art
