Color signatures of novels’ visual content by Jaz Parkinson.  More.  Looks like it may be possible to order prints, and even make requests! 

(I just finished reading The Road and I can’t believe there is even THAT much color.)

You have all made my life. These are my colour signatures, an ongoing collection which are basically graphs of all the visual content in the books. For example when it might say ‘yellow brick road,’ ‘yellow’ gets a tally, or when for example in The Road it says ‘dark ash covered everything’ (not an actual quote), that image evokes dark grey instantly in the mind, so dark grey gets a tally. They are then ordered into a spectrum and drawn up, so the result is a surprise to me until it is done. I was shocked at The Road as well! A lot of the colour is fire, and when they finally find some food the book describes ‘juicy glistening peaches,’ which is so visual after pages and pages of grey.

A2 Prints on gorgeous enhanced matte are available, and I am more than willing to take a request to add to the collection.

Thanks for all your support! Love you guys.

I may be late on this but has anyone else noticed the female bands/female fronted bands homages Marceline and The Scream Queens covers make?
