1. Mastering the Art of French Cooking (work in progress)
This is the perfect book for lonely bachelors on Valentine's Day. The most amazing thing I learned from this book was how to dice a whole onion with extreme efficiency, so I decided to illustrate that with an onion being masterfully attacked from both ends. I was influenced by Swiss design, because I wanted a cold, harsh, no nonsense book to keep me company on this holiday.

Full jacket:

Imagine a whole series of these books, one for each holiday, I would totally stock up:
Mastering the Art of Advanced Origami
Mastering the Art of Advanced Origami II
Mastering the Art of Morning Calisthenics
Mastering the Art of Applied Trigonometry
Mastering the Art of Graphic Communication
Mastering the Art of Indoor Gardening
Mastering the Art of Speed Reading
Mastering the Art of Mechanical Paper Structures
Mastering the Art of Coping
Mastering the Art of Self Back Massage
In fact, I'm going to go ahead and design jackets for a couple of these imaginary titles using the same visual language.
Test print on scrap paper. I added a bit of gold into the ink to make it nice and shimmery.
