recently i have i missed designing for the tactile senses (some times the wysiwyg 72 dpi world seem a little constrictive). i decided to make some hand made books for fun. click the thumbnail images for larger images.
i found some cool black wire mesh that conceptually related to the content of the book (retro robot illustrations). I bound the book with contrasting yellow wire at the top.
i found some silvery semi transparent vellum to contrast the black wire, i used it as an inside cover. the book title is 5 bots. using a graphical treatment of abstracted text, i created a grungy backround for each page.
the book contains 5 illustrations of retro robots and science fiction elements in comic book like frames. the view of some elements is abstracted to the point of being open to interpretation. i originally did the drawings for my son, purposely abstract encouraging him to invent a story to fit the image as he saw them.
i will be creating 20 hand made editions of this book, if you would like one, a minimum donation of $17 will get you one (this is real art folks! that's cheap!)! i will sign and number the last page of each. if you donate a little more, i will doodle a little bot on the last page!
the money will support the costs of this site and also the costs of a new community/collaborative project (details to follow soon). lesser donations would never be declined and will in turn recieve butt loads of good karma!
maybe you want a book but don't gots the scratch. hmmm, i wonder what you do have! art for art swaps are always entertained!
the fewer you purchase, the more my mother will recieve for christmas. any left over money will fund my internet porn addiction.
