18 Views of San Francisco

Here is a glimpse of our current project, 18 Views of San Francisco, a suite of 10 luminous paintings by Claribel paired with exquisite haiku by Don Skiles. The paper for the text and paintings is Hahnemühle iBugra with Hahnemühle Bugra covers, each bearing an original collage by C.C. The endpapers are special Japanese Chiyogami. This stunning title is limited to 15 copies, each carrying the chops of the artist, poet and printer/binder.














Sound of rolling traffic
like far off ocean murmur
Surf of the city
















Rain street of Sausalito
past the cinema
Nighttime lights like oil paint shimmer















The light, the shadows
Which is which?
Beautiful, silent















Grey days
blue water
the sun's around somewhere
