The studio

Wet paint, not pixels

Every binder is painted by hand with acrylics, brush to vinyl — never printed, never AI-generated. What you see in the reveal photos is the actual paint on the actual binder you receive.

Each cover starts as a pencil sketch on the binder itself, then base colour, then detail, then a sealed matte varnish so it survives being carried to every trade night. We share progress photos of every stage on WhatsApp, sketch to seal.

We paint on any brand and size. Send us yours, or we source one for you.

How a cover gets painted

  1. 01

    Sketch

    A pencil sketch goes straight onto the binder — no printouts, no transfers.

  2. 02

    Base colours

    Flat acrylic blocks lay down every shape across the whole design.

  3. 03

    Detail

    Linework, shading and highlights bring the characters to life.

  4. 04

    Varnish

    A sealed matte varnish locks it in so it survives daily carry.
