Lime Aubergine Bookbinders — Six Original Fantasy Character Designs

The story of Lime Aubergine Bookbinders

A fictional story inspired by the artwork.

The Bookbinders restore volumes that have traveled through more hands than anyone can count. Loose pages receive patient repairs, and worn covers are strengthened without hiding every mark of use. Their workshop welcomes readers who remember a book imperfectly, because an uncertain recollection can still provide a useful place to begin.

An atlas arrives with pages opening into tiny doorways. One shows a windswept staircase; another holds the smell of a warm kitchen. The team avoids stepping through them. Instead, they compare the torn hinges and missing folds, noticing that every opening appears where two unrelated maps were accidentally bound together.

They separate the mismatched sections and build a clear index from the surviving material. The doors become windows, safe to observe without drawing anyone inside. A few pages remain uncertain and receive loose protective sleeves. The restored atlas is useful because it admits its gaps rather than pretending that every destination has been fully recovered.

The visual identity of Lime Aubergine Bookbinders grows from lime, aubergine, parchment cream, with six unmistakably different animal faces and body shapes. Layered clothing gives each working companion a personal silhouette while keeping the group ready for a shared journey. Their story values patient observation and cooperation, leaving room for a landscape and its residents to change without losing the connections that help them belong.
