Sky Nash is an artist from Birmingham currently based in London, studying a BA (Hons) Book arts and design. She started the degree in September and she’s constantly learning new things.

I choose it so that I could carry on being an illustrator and learn something practical at the same time.

Enjoy the rest of this article and see what 20 years old female artist can do.

After making some improvements on her original design, she printed on book cloth and end paper. Look at those hardback characters, awesome.

This was an experiment with book structure, trying to take away some of the normality in books.

Sky wanted to experiment more with the paper here, white paper feels a bit lifeless sometimes, she spent a lot of time covering the paper in oil and tea staining it, which made all of the pages even the cover semi transparent.

Sky is such a friendly minded, follow her on Twitter (@skynash). Over and above you should read her blog at sky-n.blogspot.com.

I hope she will share her new works with you, a Die without Art visitor. Subscribe here.
