Galactic Narrowboat by ottoGraphic

$15.00

Screen printed picture book

3.5” X 5”

Galactic Narrowboat is a science fiction story about a narrowboat traveling into outer space. Inspiration comes from Otto’s life on a boat in London between 2004 and 2010. With strange angles, windows, and hidden areas, this playful art book provides exciting layouts and odd format illustrations. Galactic Narrowboat is the second in the series of ‘crosscut-fold’ booklets

“I invented the crosscut-fold technique after observing tulip leaves and the way they fold in on themselves. The format is basically a diagonal Leporello, which, when folded, fits neatly into a postcard sized format.” —Otto Dettmer
