New Illustrated Song - Unravel by Björk

“While you are away
My heart comes undone
Slowly unravels
In a ball of yarn
The devil collects it
With a grin
Our love
In a ball of yarn
He’ll never return it
So, when you come back
We’ll have to make new love”

Book jacket and 15 interior illustrations for Christopher Anstee’s memoir ‘Polish The Crown’. We started working together on these artworks in 2017, slowly bringing Christopher’s poems to life. Feels so good to finally have this book in my hands!

“Polish The Crown is a powerful collection of memories, poems and beautiful illustrations that celebrate the extraordinarily ordinary life of a boy who grew up under the shadow of section 28. A boy who became a proud gay man, despite the life and times that once defined him.”

Chris is currently immersed in a worldwide book tour, with a special reading event in New York coming soon. Follow his journey at christopheranstee.com.
