More than one hundred and fifty years following the original publication of <em>Moby-Dick<\/em>, Kish began illustrating Herman Melville\u2019s classic, creating an image a day over the next eighteen months based on text selected from every page of the 552-page Signet Classics paperback edition. Completely self-taught, Kish refused to set any boundaries for the artwork and employed a deliberately low-tech approach in response to the increasing popularity of born-digital art and literature. He used found pages torn from old, discarded books, as well as a variety of mediums, including ballpoint pen, marker, paint, crayon, ink, and watercolor. By layering images on top of existing words and images, Kish has crafted a visual masterpiece that echoes the layers of meaning in Melville\u2019s narrative.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/innopac.noblenet.org\/record=b3140371~S50\"><strong>Check the catalog for availability.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Publisher&#8217;s Summary: &#8220;Inspired by one of the world\u2019s greatest novels, Ohio artist Matt Kish set out on an epic voyage of his own one day in August 2009.
