Acheron: The Private Sketchbooks of Ian Bertram

For the last 13 years, artist Ian Bertram has kept sketchbooks. Part journal, part therapy, these incredibly personal books are where Ian worked through his life.

When Tiny Onion's Director of Production Courtney Menard saw the pages within, she immediately recognized their importance. Beautiful works of art, intimate and vulnerable, never before seen by the public. She convinced Ian to let us help him combine them into one book and share it with the world.

In this book you'll see me dealing with self loathing, terror, alchoholism, PTSD, lust and sexuality, tragic deaths, violence, obsessions, doubts, loneliness, and solitude. Essentially every part of me that feels apart. Untethered, and likely to drag me to the bottom. It is also a book that has seen me through these feelings.

That book is Acheron: a deluxe, bespoke recreation of Ian's sketchbooks built to his meticulous specifications; a celebration of physical media.
