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
