A book named
BRACKEN & HAKE
written by
LEWIS BENTLEY & 
WILLIAM JONES
illustrations by 
ALFIE SHUIKAI

Written by William Jones & Lewis Bentley about our travels wild camping along the coastline of Cornwall. The book is based on the diary kept by Lewis and makes use of Alfie’s drawings made during the walking tour.

At the end of the trip I gathered together everything we had and re-worked it into a short story with accompanying illustrations.

The 1st edition of the book was made in 2017 and was included as part of Alfie’s first solo exhibition with Newgate Studio in Marylebone, London. For this I hand made the book using gold foil on the cover, screen printed the inner cover and bound it with an industrial sewing machine (see below). This edition sold out at the exhibition.

The 2nd and 3rd version printed in 2022 as an edition of 50, then 100 copies. This version is professionally printed and includes a sticker and postcard. (see above)
