Photo Illustrations from No Fresh Cut Flowers are available

Illustrating a book of poetry through photography was one of the most fulfilling things I have ever done.   In the beginning of the project I had expected to make drawings for each poem but when that started feeling forced, I switched to photographs.  A few of them had already been taken but most of them were inspired by the poems.  Thanks to the folks at The Owl Shop in New Haven I even had my first on-location photo shoot with a model.  Those photos, which feature Sarah Sartarelli, were inspired by Ariel Chance's poem "Black Ice."  Here are a few of the photographs from the book, though all of them can be viewed at my Print Shop.

Zine - What have you to say... vol. 1

"What have you to say? Nothing at all." A strange mix of art/poetry/aliens and random wierdness. The best kind! The original artwork is done with pastels, charcoal, pencil and marker. And the whole thing put together is more of a collage.

This issue is 10 pages (12 including covers). The binding is hand-stitched with green tatting thread. It is printed in full color. It comes to you in a clear cellophane bag for protection. The back cover is signed and dated. Dimensions are 5.5 x 8.5 inches. Shipped in a flat envelope. :)

This can be purchased here or by emailing rachel@sephyrus.com.

Reader comment:
"A very unusual art/word zine! It's full of pretty colors and conversations that sounds like the ones that go on in your head...it will catch you off guard! A+"
