Vladimir Zimakov is a talented Boston-based book artist, designer, and illustrator specializing in techniques such as linocut, silkscreen, and letterpress, among other traditional and digital media. His latest project, four years in the making, is a setting of the White Knight’s poem “Haddock’s Eyes,” as the name of the song is called. The book is “Leporello” or accordion-style, a single folded 28′ (8½ m.) sheet of paper, and is a masterpiece!
Printed from original linocuts, it is housed in a red & brown slipcase; an edition of 34 copies, signed and numbered by the artist; dimensions are 12” × 10” × 1½”; 36 pages.
