Inspired by Zak Smith’s Gravity’s Rainbow project and the Blood Meridian project, artist/illustrator/librarian Matt Kish has created the Every Page of Moby-Dick blog, where he posts one drawing per day illustrating each of the 540 pages of the Signet Classic edition of Moby-Dick.

Begining in August 2009, Kish is now up to page 391. After completing the Melville project, Kish plans on undertaking a similar blog on Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness. The original paintings from the current project can be viewed and purchased on Kish’s website spudd64.

If you still can’t get enough of Melville’s masterpiece, visit the amazing Power Moby-Dick website, which offers a terrific fully annotated version of the novel.
