PRINTED MATTER 1994 CATALOG
1995 - 2000 I had a stack of old catalogs from the legendary New York artists book store,
which feature 5 of my books on page 28! Instead of throwing them out I decided to make
them my
own by going through them and adding notes, saying hello to friends,
commenting on books I've
got, drawing beards on people, and whatever else came to
mind, generally having fun
annotating and annecdoting them with blue and
bright pink ink, plus a bit of rubberstamping
in white ink!
Edition of 16 copies, each is unique. 21x14cm 80pgs
PAPER SAMPLES BOOK
A collection of old patterned papers that I bought from
a printers intending to use them in
book
projects. Seven years later most
of it is sitting unused on a shelf taking up space and
gathering
dust.
I felt it was time to do something useful with it. This deluxe version
features theft,
sex, guns
and rolls of used ten pound notes!! (sort of...)
A larger version,
with more pages and a lengthier
explanation! Feb 2002 14x14 cm 26pgs
