About Me
My name is Jay and welcome to my website!
I grew up in the Chicago suburbs and currently reside in DuPage County. I got into bookbinding due to my love of prop books from movies and TV shows. Whenever the heroes of a story stumbled upon a book prop, whether it was a magical spell book or a book of fairy tales, I would always want to see more of it. That sense of wonder has led me to create prop books of my own.

About JVP Artistries
I began my business in 2013. It all started with the TV show Charmed. As a fan of the show, I made myself a replica of their book. One of my friends asked me to make them one. Then another, and another. From there, my business grew.
I was discovered by a company called Pagan Scrapbook Supply and hired by them to work as their bookbinder since 2015. While the Charmed Book of Shadows has been my most popular item, I specialize in custom spell books for practicing Wiccans and witchcraft enthusiasts.
Starting in 2017 I have decided to steer away from replica books to design my own unique creations. I have since branched out to local theater productions and offered my services to their prop departments.
