Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. August 2022. We created the artwork for the luxury edition of The Great Gatsby by F.S.Fitzgerald for Beehive Books USA part of the Illuminated Editions. The book is an oversized 9x12" hardcover edition, cloth-bound in sewn signatures, and enclosed in an elaborately embossed and debossed die-cut slipcase. The 1925 Fitzgerald's story is set in the Jazz Age on Long Island, near New York City. It depicts first-person narrator Nick Carraway's interactions with mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and Gatsby's obsession to reunite with his former lover, Daisy Buchanan. We used traditional and digital tools: gouache, pen, pencil, digital.
