Me by Elton John, Henry Holt and Company, 2019, Hardcover, Gently Used
As for the painting, Mandy Howard begins with clamping the book between two pieces of wood, followed by mapping out the portrait of Elton John inspired by the cover of this memoir, the photograph taken by Terry O’Neill.
Using watercolor paints and spraying each painting with matte varnish, the completed artwork is protected from dust. Due to the pressure from the clamps, the paint does not seep past the edge of the page.
While the pages can still be turned, this is recommended to be purchased as a decorative addition to your personal library, rather than to be read. This is due to the fact that the oils on our hands can damage the painting over time.
