For a few years I have been making fabric whales which I gift to people on the condition that they send me photos of their whale.  From my own and other contributions I have put together and published an illustration only version of Moby Dick containing a curated selection of these whale photographs.

You can preview the whole thing on-line.  Philip Hoare (writer of Leviathan and driving force behind the recent Moby Dick Big Read) thought it was as wild and mad as the original!
