Stories travel farther than pages.
Salt and Smoke is a book-obsessed studio crafting digital postcards, slow reviews, and cozy literary inspiration for readers everywhere.
Ink, pixels, and the joy of sharing books.
Hello, I am the reader and illustrator behind Salt and Smoke. Every postcard starts with a dog-eared copy, margin notes, and a sketchbook full of tiny vignettes.
The goal is simple: capture the feeling of a chapter you loved, then send it out into the world as a keepsake you can print, gift, or save digitally.
