I posted about the 8×10 version of this book here, but I didn’t show the original book which led me to the “massive” mini trade books in the first place. So here it is! I THINK this baby was lifted …
August by Tobin Walton
Tobin Walton dropped this little baby on my doorstep, and for this I say “Thank you!” A handmade Zine titled “August, Meditations and Meanderings from the month of August 2015.” Typewritten title page, handmade illustrations, ink on paper, a handmade …
Blurb Tips 0002 Make a Sample Book
MAKE SAMPLE BOOKS. I can’t really paint or make art of any kind. But I do, or at least I try. From time to time I make something that I think “Hmm, that might be okay,” and then I show …
Blurb Tips 0001 Forget What You Know
I would have never made a series of twenty books, all costing $2.49 per, had I followed what the industry and tradition told me to do. Forget what you know and start over with a clear and open mind.
