CentiPete is a charming story I wrote and illustrated for my Senior Thesis at the Herron School of Art and Design. It combines elements from both The Little Mermaid and The Fisherman and His Soul to create a new story about a Centipede named Pete relentlessly pursuing love.
Centipede binding derivative of Keith Smith's instructions in his book, Non-Adhesive Binding vol III, Exposed Spine Sewings
Using Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator, I transformed my hand drawn illustrations into files to then etch and cut into printing plates. This was done on a Trotec laser engraver within the school's Think it Make It Lab (TIMI Lab)
Side note: Use Birch plywood in the future, no more of this "red oak" plywood. This stuff crumbles away and the prints are terrible.
