I am planning on painting and designing a few of these up with that custom lettering either drawn by hand or in Illustrator. I like the idea of designing the illustrations and the text simultaneously; it really gives you a lot more options for what to do with the layout than just thinking, "Ok, I need to leave some low-contrast space for text somewhere in this."
Also note, when I make up random book titles I use the author name "Laurem Ips" for filler text. I imagine designers will get the reference right away.
These are all super gorgeous!!! I can't wait to see some finshed!!!
