Covering it all
The First Time She Fell: 8 short stories in the visual and verbal. A fiction + design collaboration by Caleb Ludwick, with design by Michael Hendrix, Ben Horner, Mandy Lamb Meredith, Nick DuPey, Liz Tapp, Roby Isaac, Joseph Shipp and Beth Joseph. The cover art uses the illustrations from throughout the interior of the book, combining them in layered collection like old wheat pasted billboards, worn away by the weathering of time.
The book is a remarkable debut collection of short stories, that inspired a beautifully rendered collaboration between verbal and visual storytelling. First published in paperback, then a second edition in hardcover.
