This Is Not A Feminism Textbook

edited by Catherine Rottenberg
Goldsmiths Press / MIT Press
Paperback, 160pp & 27 illustrations.

Written by prominent feminist scholars from around the world, This Is Not A Feminism Textbook offers a clear, straightforward overview of key feminist debates and concerns ranging from motherhood, home, work and family to media, technology, and medicine. It is engaging and accessible, distilling the highest level of knowledge into fascinating but concise entries.

I was brought on board to clean up and standardise initial designs, tailoring what had been created to what the authors had provided. The series style developed under my art direction: a little-bit-punk with a rough-and-ready, old school, photo-copied aesthetic — that still maintained a clear and accessible hierarchy of information.

The Eyebrows of Doom

by Steve Smallman / Little Tiger
illustrated by Miguel Ordóñez
Hardback, 32pp.
Published in the US March 1, 2022.

This ridiculous, whacky, rhyming text is paired with deadpan illustrations. The frenetic hand-drawn energy of the mischief-making eyebrows creates a fun contrast with the ultra clean and cool characters.

Octopants: The Missing Pirate Pants

by Suzy Senior / Little Tiger
illustrated by Claire Powell
Hardback, 32pp.

Octopants The Missing Pirate Pants is the silly and sweet follow-up to the Book Trust’s Bookstart Treasure book Octopants.

Now that Octopants has found his unique style, he is on a mission to help Pufferfish find his favourite pirate underpants — that have gone mysteriously missing. Another great twist ending!

Working with illustrator Claire Powell from initial thumbnails to completed colour artwork was a dream.

On the Origin of the Thesis

Speculative Book Cover
