For almost every show that I have had, I have created a companion handmade book work. Often in collaboration with my partner Sue Bracken. The design, the digital processing, printing, collating and binding all done by yours truly.
All kinds of formats: conventional, flip, accordion, boxed anthologies - even a game. My intent is to provide my often honking big drawings at a scale that is more accessible and affordable. Something that you could take home. Here is a peek at some them.
Above Below & In Between, 2021
This is definitely a "ONE-OF". So much time, love, blood, and sweat was poured into its creation. I won't be making any more in this format.
60 close-up images bound in pairs so you that you pick them up and really get close! Here, I am only showing you a sample of imagery from each section.

The Girl in the Park as an accordian book / 3D object.
I have digitally processed and recontextualizes the original larger drawings. AND overlaid that with the poetry by Sue Bracken that was the original prompt.
Xcess & Ohhs. 2020. A handmade book which digitially recontextualized the imagery with the poerty which it prompted by Sue Bracken. Each page has been hand mounted and then lovingly abused. 5.5 " x 11". 29 pages.
A Simple Story About An Old Guy Who Wishes On Luck. 2018. A hand made book that riffs on two series of larger drawings. One that tells the story of an old guy who bends over to pick up a wallet, narrowly being missed by a flying pie. The other combines a series of hand gestures. Sue tells me that I am NOT the old guy. I am not so sure.
