Brave New Toy World

Well, after a really long day of illustrator, printing, cutting, folding, gluing, and packing, the Brave New World sculpture book is complete. I'm really pleased with the finish I've achieved with the boxes. There were a few little bodge jobs in there along the way but I worked with what I had and made it work. In each packet there is a box of Soma pills containing the chapters of the book, a caste badge, a uniform and an embryo to get the world started. I wanted the finished boxes to be a comment on the production line quality of the world in the book and mirroring how each of the citizens are pre-fabricated into life. They also look pretty cool. It was a  long days work right at the end to get it all together but definitely worth it in the end. Thanks to Patricia for pushing it right to the end. I'm not quite sure how the other ideas I had in mind would of worked out but I'm confident that the wouldn't have been on the same level as these boxes. I enjoyed making them from start to finish immensely. There's something about the whole process of the repetitive cutting and shaping that I really enjoy and it was a really good feeling seeing them lined up at the end.

and finally.....done.

Not much room left in there for anything else
