Can I say more? Nope. Not even the title? Nope. Will it sell out fast? Yes because contractual obligations with Koontz mean Lividian will print much less copies than usual.15 May 2026 00:27 +0000at://did:plc:misbyfx26pr3ticzuvlesbnf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlu353u5wc2lhttps://bsky.app/profile/francois-art.bsky.social/post/3ml6irxxe3k2hA while back, Philip Fracassi sent me his own copy of A Child Alone With Strangers for a remarque. I did said remarque, but felt that the author's copy should be exceptional. I took out my paints and brushes and did something I had never done before: paint directly on the book. Pretty unique.06 May 2026 10:32 +0000at://did:plc:misbyfx26pr3ticzuvlesbnf/app.bsky.feed.post/3ml6irxxe3k2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/francois-art.bsky.social/post/3mjk5opt4h22bIt’s been a while since I drew a remarque in a Lividian edition of Heart-shaped Box by Joe Hill.
