little known facts:
[spanish. chemistry. history]i love building book covers. i get super excited when old ones rip and fall off - cause that means its time for creation.
[only problem is... then it gets a lot harder to actually open the book cause you are busy looking at the cover.]
side note: book socks ruin creativity. so many opportunities to make great covers. so much potential thrown down the drain.
stupid elastic-strung convenience.
the spanish one never really got finished. i re-drew on the pencil a few times, and it kept rubbing off, so i figured it wasn't worth it.
the middle one is some paint pens and sharpies and such. thats kinda my signature thing, i guess. the tree with a box head.
the last one took forever. i started out weaving together newspaper and gluing it on. at the very end... it looked totally stupid. 'i spent two hours on this?' after school the next day, i was showing it to lan, and got kinda embarresed - so i started ripping off the newspaper. the finished result: major improvement.
over the course of the next few weeks - i start detailing all the gaps. theres a different design in each one. def my favorite.
book covers are great.
got any good books that need to be covered?
