Ex-Libris

I have to design an 'ex-libri' for university, which basically translates to 'from the library of' and it is a sort of sticker you put it in your books to denote that they are yours. Ex-libris are historically quite grim and morbid*...with a sort of elegance. I absolutely love them, and I have known to be a little bit morbid in my design before.  I actually am more excited about designing this then my personal identity (business card etc).

* Some are really erotic...in a really disturbing way, not too crazy about these.

 The one above is definitely my favourite, I just love that for some reason a fin is sticking out of her torso.
