happy anniversary, moby dick!

it has been 161 years since the story of a vengeful captain and a white whale came into existence. although it was hard to appreciate the tale in my high school literature class, i am now quite fond of the book. thank you, mister herman melville.

there are so many wonderful book cover illustrations for the book, but here are a couple of our favorites.


artist: unknown


artist: ji soo lee


artist: emmanuel polanco


here is my own silly illustration of captain ahab and moby dick that i had done a while back. and yes, i gave the whale fangs. artist's prerogative.
