Those who follow me on social media might have seen me post cryptic reels of carving, inking and printing linocut illustrations. I have actually been working on a collaborative project with 19 talented authors.
Whispers in the Earth is an anthology of short stories inspired by world folklore, and how stories travel and grow over time. Each story illustrated by myself with a linocut print, and with smaller illustrations throughout, we offer different formats, from ebook to a super deluxe hardback collectible.
On the 21st of May, in a partnership with The Broken Binding bookshop, we are launching the Kickstarter campaign to raise money for this project.
Putting this book together is a dream come true for me. I love illustrated books, yet that’s exactly the kind of project that would be considered far too expensive and risky by most publishers. Kickstarter offers the opportunity to bring exactly this kind of an unusual project to life, by bringing artists and backers together.
