Comment: Hello and sorry for my very delayed rating:/ The artist book is gorgeous! The cover is really beautiful and I love resin casts, so the three-dimensional nuclear warhead is a great detail. Your use of color is striking and all the tentacle illustrations made me squee! I've never tried that technique of blacking out words and creating a story with what's left seen, and you're able to do it so well. Thank you so much for the extra smaller images too.

Comment: Beautiful card-love the colors and the envelope too. Thanks for all the extras of your past altered text projects and the bits and pieces for me to use in future projects-wonderful partner-thanks for sharing
