How did you make this work:
Glow is a narrative non-fiction picture-book about light. Lumy, the glow-in-the-dark rabbit, explores the science behind night-time glow in its different forms. It was inspired by my work as a scientist and the joy of printmaking with unusual colours. Pages are risograph-printed, with a glow-in-the-dark layer screen-printed over the top to create dual "daytime-nighttime" images.
