Evilrooster's Bookbinding Gallery

2004 << Bindings: 2005 >> 2006

2005 has been an interesting time for me as a binder. The quantity of books I have bound has dropped, because of the many things I've been doing for each binding. This year has seen my first attempts at boxmaking, my ventures into edition work, more bindings for strangers, and the launch of evilrooster.com as a gallery and sales site. I've exhibited in two shows and entered a binding competition. All of this is only possible thanks to Martin and the kids, whose forebearance allows me to bind and whose existence inspires me in what I do. I am immeasurably lucky.

Some of the books below are listed on the Evilrooster.com site rather than on the Bookweb.
