Comiku (comics + haiku)
Watch this video of me reading and explaining how I create cascading comiku artist books.

Each collage/illustrated 'panel' contains lines of originally composed haiku or tanka. Some works may also include haiku by famous poets such as Basho, Issa and others! The panels are then digitally scanned, printed and folded into pages of handmade "comiku" (comics + haiku) cascading/petal fold books. **My main go-to materials are washi paper,ink and goache. I also enjoy experimenting with suminagashi,collage,cyanotypes, Gelli and block printmaking. **Scroll down to view a slideshow of my cascading comiku books series.** |
