Eye 98: Beatrice Display Black, Sharp Type, 2018, and a detail from an original drawing for Lexicon by Bram de Does, 1989.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2022 Issue 98 of Eye<\/em><\/a>, the international design journal, is out this month. The new issue is a typography special but also features my review of Mark Dery’s Born to be Posthumous: The Eccentric Life and Mysterious Genius of Edward Gorey<\/em>. This is the second time I’ve written about Dery’s book, with the new piece focusing more on Gorey’s work as a designer\/book creator, and his place in the history of illustration.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Portal<\/em> is a new release by Slovakian metal band Doomas<\/a>, the artwork of which adapts one of my illustrations for Lovecraft’s Monsters<\/em><\/a>. The band also have a suitably Lovecraftian video<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Reading recommendations by M. John Harrison: the old<\/a> (the excellent Rogue Moon<\/em> by Algis Budrys) and the new<\/a> (Underland<\/em> et al).<\/p>\n

I first started drawing in my Wake<\/em> to count the number of rivers mentioned in an episode, one page alone counting 85. Gradually, I would be so moved by a line or a character I would colour them in, the most obvious being the 28 Rainbow girls to the more obscure nebulae, railroad tracks, hidden mythical islands and turn of the century lightships. Themes began to emerge which demanded documentation and always the sad, ecstatic relief of finishing a chapter merited some sort of coloured tribute. By the time I finished four years later, I simply drew a leaf to reflect Joyce\u2019s metaphor on the last page: my leaves have drifted from me. All. But one clings still.<\/em><\/p>\n
