Book of Pages: 2000–2020

Although the first version of Book of Pages was written and illustrated almost a decade earlier, it was published in 2000. The book’s illustrations are black-and-white line art. To celebrate the twentieth anniversary of their publication, here is how the pages might have looked had they been in colour, thanks to Jiriki’s friend Claudia.

Notes:

Looking through the glass on page 11. After failing to experience any of the anticipated sensations of flight on page 9 (“Flight”), Jiriki seems to be standing in the air.

This is left for the illustration to tell: the text, meanwhile, riffs on the oddity of habitually not seeing things that are there.
