March, 2012

I hand-lettered the entire epic tale in artists quality sepia ink and hand-painted all the images on Rising Stonehenge paper. My paints are artists quality acrylics, including reflective illuminating paints, Minnesota Pipestone, actual Lapis Lazuli, and other quality pigments.
 
I hand-sewed and hand-bound the book using traditional bookbinding techniques and covered it with Cave Paper (which is hand-made in Minneapolis, MN).
 
This book was a complete blast to make, though many days turned to nights as I painted 14 or more hours straight on through!
 
The volume is now on the road with The Traveling Pony Museum, making its first stop at BronyCon Summer 2012!”
