Not so long ago, I had the privilege to create more than 50 cut-paper illustrations for ”A Constellation Album: Stars and Mythology of the Night Sky”, by renowned astrophotographer P.K. Chen. Sky Publishing recently released the book, and it is a beauty. The illustrations are a fusion of Greek and Asian design elements, with a healthy dash of my own quirkiness thrown in. Extra points to anyone who can find a little Cthulu in there. Coolest of all, the artwork is printed on a transparency that lies on top of the photo. You can lift it up to enjoy the night stars, then put it back down to try and figure out how the ancients managed to see anything at all in those far-away lights (my theory includes plenty of free time and a lot of wine). Read more about the book on my blog.
