Personal interpretation of a book cover for Moby Dick by Herman Melville.

Set sail aboard the Pequod with Ishmael and embark through the madness of Captain Ahab.

With this handmade script, I wanted to capture the intensity of Ahab’s obsession. I pictured him feverishly scribbling down the whale’s name over and over again.
