My latest book, “The Fruits of Religion”.
4 needle coptic bound, inkjet printed on Daler Rowney Heavyweight, sourced leather wrapped, embossed covers.
This is my first real piece of “political” art, and I am pleased with the response thusfar. Please feel free to share your thoughts on the book or it’s content in the comments. Full pictures of each spread in the complete article.



















I am in awe of this dude. I want to touch it and feel it. I love the overlay. What type face is that?
The type is all set in Caecelia, a wonderful slab serif. Thanks for the comment Rick!
Nice work! Very inspiring…
Thank ya kindly Nathan.
Wow. This is amazing. Is it finished? Man you gotta publish this.
@Amber: For now, yes it is finished. I am not sure if I was really able to explore the idea as much as in depth as I wanted to with the time I had, so there is a good chance I will be revisiting this, or at least the concept, later on.
Thanks for the comment!
Again Andy, just stunning work. I love the contrast between the old leather and coptic binding and the modern infographics and type treatment.
Thank you, Tom. Thoughtful and kind words as always.
Beautiful, Andy. Where can I get a copy?
@Matt – Currently on display in the Decker Library… so I guess you could steal it from there. Just don’t tell ‘em I sent you.
