For our first spotlight we’re starting all the way from the beginning with our first book, Take Only Photographs, Leave Only Footprints.
The story was written by Tom after we had a harrowing few days after a trip to the beach, hearing dripping noises around our home. After searching for a leak we found live barnacles that we brought home from our trip not realising that they were still alive. In real life we saved the barnacles, the story however explores what would have happened if we hadn’t.
It’s quite a melancholy story overall with some very dark humour, exploring our responsibility to the world around us. It was a story greatly influenced by the work of Junji Ito and Cronenberg.
You can find issues on our Etsy at the moment, if you choose to grab a copy you’ll also get a free poster and 10% off with the code: HAPPYBIRTHDAY
