Proposed Box Design for Oni Anthology, Vol 1 (RIP)
Added 2023-09-04 17:00:05 +0000 UTCThis was the proposed wraparound design for the box that would hold the ultra-luxe edition of volume one of the Achewood anthology that Oni was producing. The volume would come in three trim levels: Ultra-luxe (boxed, signed and numbered, with tip-in original illustration), Luxe (embossed hardcover), and Standard (paperback). Something like that...don't hold me to it. It's been a few years, and there were a lot of details.
This clever design displays a timeline of the contents contained therein. Something about coming up in the age of digital illustration tools fostered within me a love of tiny, precise lines. These days, I like a bunch of unruly, feeling lines. Not so much that anal-retentive, control freak shit. But who knows, maybe it'll swing back the other way, when I see what a hash those unruly, feeling lines have made of my life.
Ah, those heady pre-Covid days when we had a team of five working daily on the anthology series. Oh, ah.

2023-09-04 19:12:41 +0000 UTCit has been a week of loss and mourning around our place, and seeing all these Achewoods That Might Have Been has been both elegiac and comforting. Nothing gold can stay, Ponyboy.
