This is my first blog. Welcome.
I am an artist, I make books. It is my intention to give you, the reader, the collector, the curious, an insight into my creative thoughts and processes. Over thirty years ago I started to record such things in a series of notebooks with fanciful titles such as: "Notes, Theory, Experiment, Speculation on Art: a diary of my 'artistic' experiences". This blog is a continuation of those notebooks, with the focus now on the conception, writing, design and production of books.
I hope you find something of interest.
Blog by Artist David Esslemont about design, illustration, printmaking, bookbinding, and publishing – for everyone interested in books and creativity.
