W.I.P: hideous herbert (roughs)

hideous herbert
is an edition of handmade books recounting the tragic tale of an ugly caterpillar desperately awaiting to become a butterfly.

here is the sketch that started it all: (my friend, jackie, makes a guest appearance here and draws me a penis and a cake... Mmmmm penis)and going inside the envelope-pages from my previous post: are four chapters that also take the form of envelopes, but in origami form!

each reveals the narrative to the user as they unravel and going inside the origami-envelope-chapters will be a print of Herbert at the different stages of his life, ill make another post for that later.
