Proverbs from Hell

This book came out from the will to remember William blake, to honour the poet, painter and printmaker from the past century. The timeless feeling attached to his creations and wisdom is what lead us to recall him today.

On this book 30 illustrators were invited to give lines and colour to 30 proverbs by William Blake, from a selection of the Proverbs of Hell, extracted from the book “The Marriage of Heaven and Hell”.

This book was hand made, printed in silkscreen, in a garage in Carcavelos, Portugal.

It took almost 2 years to finish this book, and it wouldn’t be possible without the help of everyone who participate on it.

Special big thanks to Catarina Santos, for her dedication to bring this book forward, to Filipe Quaresma, for the final process and details, and David Leitão, for being there in the beginning.
