I couldn't resist mentioning this little project here.
Being inspired of fore-edge paintings, we at 2Krogh have begun experimenting a little with the phenomena - digitally.
So far I have created two test cases on plain copy paper and I simply love the idea of illustrating the book block, check it out:
Pure text "painting".
A coloured illustration.
I can't wait to try this "full-size"! I will of course be posting pictures as soon as we have made the first book with this exciting feature.

Very interesting to see this process. Can you gild over the page edges to make the image dissappear?
I hand paint book edge and have done for almost 40 years and you can see my work at:

Martin: I saw your website earlier when searching for fore-edge painting examples, really impressive work!
The pictures shown above is hand-cut 90gsm paper dummies, and not sure it is possible to produce yet. We are going to do some full-size tests soon. But it would be possible to gild the edges, yes :)
