This is something you don’t see very oft…

This is something you don’t see very often, an artist’s sketch book. After the initial backwards and forwarding that Gary Gianni and I go through to understand how we are going to approach the story of Neil’s The Case of Death and Honey, Gary creates a sketch book with all the text broken down, and, as much as possible, what text is going to be on the page. He then draws the ideas on to that page of text. It also enables us to see the rhythm of the images. It’s pretty long but I thought some may be interested. A few of you have asked whether Gary would sell any of his sketches we have shown, this is the reason for his indecision, he really doesn’t want to break up the book. I do think objects like this, never seen but hugely important, to the process of making a book are a secret history that should be seen and shown. Hope you can spend the time to look!
