As the nights grow darker, delve into a cornerstone of our collection: the Anatomia art journal, a Renaissance inspired anatomical sketchbook offering lucid insight into the human body.

The front cover features an leather rib cage, meticulously hand-carved from thick leather, realistically formed, hand-toned, and coated with special bookbinder’s mixtures. The cover plates boast gradient levels with multiple layered applications, embossing, and carvings, resulting in a uniquely designed book.

A few reviews of Anatomia:

“This is not a normal journal; this is art. I’m sort of terrified to use it, it’s so big and beautiful. The Mistress of my collection. The artist was accommodating and shipped fast.“

“The absolute gem of my collection of ornate grimoires and sketchbooks. Astonishing in its level of craftsmanship, look and feel. My biggest worry was that the skeletal ribcages on the cover would be stiff and fragile, but they malleable meaning that they will bend instead of breaking. Superb craftsmanship and one of a kind. No regrets at all about the purchase. Astonishing.“

“I cannot express how wonderful a transaction with Alex is. This is the fifth item I have of his. Not only are his items perfectly made but his service is the best ever. He is always ready to answer questions and send photographs, plus he keeps you informed right through the shipping process, even telling you where the package is at all times. A wonderful seller from start to finish.“

“If I could give this book 1000 stars, I absolutely would. I have been wanting this journal for 8 years, but, because of the cost, was very hesitant to purchase it. So, I, instead, ordered a different journal from him that is gorgeous.The quality of that book was so exquisite that I went ahead and reached out to him to order this gorgeous piece of artwork.This journal is a masterpiece.It is absolutely breathtaking.It is the type of item that makes you stop when you wall past it sitting on a bookshelf and think to yourself ‘Wow…That is an amazing book.’ I was extremely hesitant to buy it,but now that I have received it, I can see that it is worth every penny and so much more.This book will be an heirloom passed down through generations.If you are hesitant to buy this, just buy it.You won’t regret it.”
