there's this kid I know who makes me do crazy things

Like try to write and illustrate and bind a children's book though I lack any and all skills associated with these activities.

Once upon a time, a small friend (and roommate) of mine was about to celebrate her third Christmas. So I made her this silly book. You can view it here.

It was a pleasant distraction from grad school applications and super fun to make, though it's probably riddled with issues that would make any designer/illustrator throw up her hands and say, "holy Helvetica!" Oh jeez. "Good golly Garamond?" I need to go to bed.

Merry Christmas, Iris!




Oh! And a super huge thankyouthankyouthankyou to Claire for teaching me how to make a book from cloth and board and screws and glue, and for drilling the holes because I was too much of a scaredy cat to do it myself. And thanks to Bob for helping me write words. Yay.
