The Smile Shop...



Here's a page from my first all digital book ever... done way back in 1999. It's called 'The Smile Shop', by Joy Cowley.

Now that I look at it I wonder why I didn't do more of this style really.

I guess I'll have to work on that...

Looks fabulous, John - so different! x

Thanks Max... I guess I quit that style because it was so labor intense.

Every little shape had to be built from scratch. It seemed to be 5 times as much work.

But I think removing the line from an image makes it more sculptural... which seems to be popular nowadays.

Definitely worth exploring some more!

Thanks! I've posted some new tryouts up a few posts on my blog.
