There were always a few stars left over from the first six altered copies of 'The Universe', along with blank margin strips. In 2012 I used these leftovers and made the final version: 'Universe: Le Petit Prince'.

Since the Friday Night Flick on the Byopia Press blog yesterday (byopiapress.wordpress.com/2025/11/07/f...) was about universe-themed artists' books, I thought I would post one of my alterations of 'Universe' (Life Nature Library).

Started by creating colorful alphabet letters and numbers. Then turned it into art as they became overall pattern and color.

It's an art journal page with an off-white background and punched letters from the alphabet going around the page. Starting at the bottom left, going straight up the side, across the top, down the right side, and across the bottom, and then there are numbers in the middle. The digits and letters form sort of an abstract spread of color and pattern.

More photos to come plus a longer write up, but my latest #alteredbook project is now on display at @audreysbooksyeg.bsky.social ! Titled “The Möbius Book, Stripped” the project is based on “The Möbius Book” by @catherinelacey.bsky.social

#books #art #YEG #local #indie
Pictured is the open central stairwell at Audreys Books in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, framed in dark mahogany wood, with bookshelves full of books visible in the background upstairs, on the landing, and on the lower level visible past the landing. Flowing from the corner of the opening on the main level is a scroll of paper that goes up to the ceiling then loops down several times before flowing back up over the ledge of the opening. Pictured is the opposite side of the stairwell opening in the first photo, showing a reddish orange vintage typewriter on a stand out of which is flowing a scroll of paper. A later section of the scroll can be seen flowing back over the edge of the opening beside the typewriter. There is also a smaller Möbius strip, made up of the front and back matter of the book, sitting on a shelf below the typewriter.

A drawing of a dog anthro crying with her eyes covered done on a book page. Her ears are long and red, draped over her arms a bit. She's wearing a yellow shirt and baggy blue jeans. Above is some butterflies, flowers, and happy face stickers with sparkles painted over them. The words "She / took a moment to replace" are the only ones not covered up.

Hey friends! There's no youtube video this week, but I plan to edit and put out the 100 Heads Challenge video next week. In the meantime, have a peek at what I've been doing in my sketchbook lately.
