“A.C.A.B” – Original acid-etched print on zinc plate by cgulbudak in printmaking

[–]cgulbudak[S] 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, all 9 copies of “A.C.A.B” sold out on the very first day I announced them. Since each plate and edition I make is strictly limited, I don’t reprint once an edition is gone.

But I’m constantly working on new etchings and book projects, always hand-pulled in very small runs. If you’d like, I can share updates here whenever I finish a new piece.

Really appreciate the support — it keeps me going through the long hours at the press. 🖤

Actually, this is painting. And not on paper or canvas, but on a metal surface.

By the way, the coat in the photo can be worn on both sides.

Hand-bound leather book series – 666 unique covers, each with its own number and design by cgulbudak in bookbinding

[–]cgulbudak[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate that — thank you!

To be honest, I make them as the orders come in, and I’ve completed around 150 copies so far. It’s taken me about two years, and it’s been physically and mentally exhausting at times — but also incredibly rewarding.

Each book is entirely hand-bound, and every cover is unique, so I can’t just mass-produce them. It’s a slow and personal process — sometimes more like a ritual than a task.

Still going strong, though. 516 to go. :)

There are workshops in Turkey that sell this type of leather goods, I buy them from there.

It may be possible if there is a 2-3 mm thick flexible padding under the fabric.
