A Kinda Update

Well, guess it is time to put things up here about my life.
People I know don’t read my shit so I guess I’m safe here.

Still alive. Still breathing.

Dreams of getting brain cancer and losing the only thing I actually kinda fucking like about myself. Cancer can take any part of my body, I don’t care. Hell, it can take my life. Just leave my brain healthy.

And my anorexia and self-harming habits are back. Relapse is a bitch.

The work of this semester, all at its end.  This is my Independent Project “final product.”  It’s a book of (scientific?) illustrations I did under the theme of my bug collection.  Overall I’m incredibly happy with it.  I feel like it’s my first really legitimate piece of graphic design work, plus it was just a lot of fun to make.  And it feels really applicable to my life.  For whatever reason.

It contains thirteen life-sized watercolor pieces of different insects from my collection (14 in total, because one spread is of a comparison of two grasshoppers) and 13 pen and ink, pen/ink/watercolor, or pen/ink/digital coloring detail pieces on the facing page.

In the academic world Dover Publications is widely known for publishing standard texts in mathematics. To me they’re known for publishing books with the best cover designs around, which truly make them stand out among the boring rest.

These are fantastic. If you can make a math book look inviting … well, you’ve done something special.

I kid, of course. Math is awesome. I’m only allowed to give math a hard time because I am the child of mathematicians.

Any other favorite artistic textbook covers? Reblog with your favorites or send them my way via the fan mail button or Twitter.
