We are honing the project and working with a heightened sense of purpose here at VISIONSFOUND. Art is being completed, thoughtful plans are incubating and new team members are arriving in growing and fanciful times.
Our latest accomplishments are vital pieces to the integrity of the books and their future history. Here’s a run down of some of the artists and people we’ve been privileged to not just work with, but call our friends over the past few months :
Baby Teeth artists Ozgur Yildirm, Juan Castro, and Giorgia Lanza are officially WRAPPED
South Korean phenom Brooks Kim has completed the cover for our third release
The last two pages of book three have been finalized by the refreshingly avant-garde Luca Boni from South Africa
Our first two releases are going through much needed makeovers and will feature art by the Croatian king Dario Jelusic and the stunning India Lee Crews from the United States
The books are being edited by the always intuitive and precise Shannon D’Arcy. (Release dates to come!)
New logos for every book title have been made by font fanatic John Misael Villanueva in the Philippines
The book four cover has been completed well ahead of time by German prodigy Daniela Uhlig.
The person that will turn all this art into a story; rising star Aditiya Bidikar is set to start the lettering process this February
Lens liaisons Alex Hyde, Patrick Chambers and Dmitiry Chugai have all contributed pieces of their photography to the project
Finally, we would like to officially introduce and welcome our newest team member in charge of Marketing and Public Relations, the multi talented Sara Chiesa.
A colossal thank you to every single one of these people. Your dedication to the arts makes Earth a better and brighter place to live on, and our relationships together have done just that for us.
In other notable news, Canada lost their most profound percussionist and lyricist last month. Neil Peart’s words and life were a constant source of fuel for the imagination and demeanor of this project. Although we never knew Neil personally, his life will live on (at VERY least) through the themes and spirit of these books. We’ll leave you with a song from his notebook he wrote for Rush’s 1980 album; Permanent Waves
Thank you, Mr. Peart
