2020 | Bunny Goes to Copenhagen | a picture book for Very Large children

In Spring of 2020, as the first Covid-19 lockdown was winding its way to the (first of many) end(s), I rode my bicycle from Berlin to Copenhagen, accompanied on the 702km journey by one small hitchhiker, a stuffed brown bunny, who, despite proving to be rather high maintenance, was an amusing travel companion nonetheless. I created a chronicle of this saga, a limited-edition (25 copies) 152-page full colour book to share the adventure with the world. (Or at least with 25 people in the world.) For a limited time, for the paltry price of 14,50€ (+shipping), you too could have enjoyed the exhilarating photographic tale of bunny and me making history, biking through Northern Europe on(at?) the heels of the global pandemic.

You may be thinking,” 14,50€!! That’s a small fortune, at least enough to get me a ruddy great cocktail at a fancy bar!”**. Well, far be it for me to have discouraged your alcoholism in these trying times. To wit: anyone ordering a book who lives in Berlin (or for someone who lives in Berlin) had the book personally bike couriered to them ALONG WITH ONE FANCY COCKTAIL IN A JAR (no, really) by yours truly, wearing mask (and cape) and standing at a respectable (for those times) distance from your door. Those outside of Berlin had to cater to their own weakness for spirits, but DID get an original drawing of bunny drinking said cocktail in their book. 

 ** (For the sake of transparency, I profited approx. the cost of a cup of coffee at a middle-grade café for each book sold. Yes, such is the world of (very very) tiny press publishing.)
