Journal (Kerem Beyit: Fierce Dragon) - Flame Tree Publishing

Part of the exciting and luxurious Flame Tree notebook series. Combining high-quality production with stunning artwork, the covers are printed on foil in five colours, embossed, and then foil-embossed again. They are incredibly practical: a rear pocket for receipts and scraps, two bookmarks, and a sturdy magnetic side flap. Perfect for personal use and an impressive gift. This example features “Fierce Dragon” by Kerem Beyit.

As a child, artist Kerem Beyit enjoyed drawing, sketching, and mimicking covers created by his favourite fantasy artist, Frank Frazetta. During his studies, he was inspired to revisit drawing, partly thanks to meeting H.R. Giger. Giger’s use of airbrushing and the contrast between realistic style and fantastical subjects had a profound influence on Beyit.

Incredible titles and a wide range of authors are the hallmark of Flame Tree Publishing.
