Something new is stirring. 🌙✨ A space is forming—part gallery, part journal, part reflection. A place for art that breathes emotion, for writing that wrestles with truth, and for philosophy that questions everything we thought we knew. This isn’t just a creative corner—it’s a gathering of minds and hearts. Where brushstrokes meet words, and thought becomes art. Welcome to the beginning. 🖤 A new chapter for creation, contemplation, and connection. links: https://linktr.ee/palettes.n.pens https://discord.gg/VHW7yDDjDw

Trying To Communicate by @copperbadge for @saltyteethbooks for the @renegadepublishing mini book bang!

@saltyteethbooks did the typeset, and I bound it, and sent it over to them.

I'm supposed to make myself a copy too, but stuff happened and I wasn't able to bookbind for like half a month, after procrastinating the first half of the month, and I finished this copy on the last day before we were supposed to get them in the mail.

So.

I'll make my copy later.

It was fun making a sextodecimal book! It's a cute little size, and I'll probably make some more after this. This one might be a little bit of an odd size, because it's typeset for A4 paper, but I shrank it a little to print on Letter instead, and then the printer shrank it a little more because it likes to add margins.

So it's got A proportions, but is a little bit smaller.

The title is done with a new gold paint I got recently! Nice and shiny, and I only had to use one coat plus a few small touchups in spots.

This is so lovely! It looks like you both had a ton of fun with it. These little books are god damn adorable :) Thank you for sharing images! 

Man. Trying To Communicate was such a trip. I wrote the whole thing on a commute and I think it’s probably to this day my most-read fanfic, and it’s a dumb comedy about what if LOLcats were actually aliens who only knew how to communicate in memes. 

[ID: Several photographs of a fanbound copy of my fanfic Trying To Communicate; the first shows the cover, gold print on blue, held in someone’s hand, indicating it is very small. The rest of the images are of the opened book, both cover and interior, showing several images, including QR codes to source material and a curse if someone should use it for commercial purposes.]
