For as long as Beci Orpin has drawn, she has been obsessed with the female form. Book of Girls brings together over 30 years of manifestations of these forms into a book. From the early days of university drawing to designing t-shirts for clothing label Princess Tina to current day projects, Book of Girls presents an archival view of Beci’s work through her sketchbooks. The book presents a behind-the-scenes look into her process and various mediums she has worked in over the years, as well as a lense on the subcultures and movements she has been involved in along the way.
Book of Girls is a self-published project, designed by TRiC studios.
