I finished my zombie book finally!!!


Here are some pictures of it.











The display copy is printed on really nice matte paper and glued together and bound by hand. It was expensive to print and too time consuming to construct to consider making very many like this, unforch. I'm going to send out to get a bunch printed at this copyshop I used to work at, and then cut em out real nice and saddle stich them. Those'll be on sale at the CCS Student show for 5 bucks.

COOL

The MINI show was a big hit! There was so much food, it was greater than I even imagined. Burgers, hotdogs, pickles, tacos, meatballs, pizzas and cookies. Except tiny.

I thought my work looked pretty cool all tiny and in a line, because you could get up real close and every picture was like a secret. Everything is 4 in. x 4 in., mounted on foam core.



Allison Young of The Mud Lot took some great shots of the opening, check em out here.
GET READY!
I have a solo show Monday the 27th (tomorrow), one night only, at the U245 Gallery at CCS. 4PM
Refreshments will be provided. The theme is "mini"

My book arrived in the mail today! It looks great! I fixed a few things I didn't like and uploaded it again, so it is how available for moms to buy.

Glossy cover!


The whole book can be previewed on lulu here:

Or if you see me in RL I'll probably be carrying it around with me at all times.

This is a sponsored project from Somerset mall. They are making the winning designs into reusable shopping bags. I entered in three times and here are my entries. I had some versions where I incorporated the slogan "you belong here" but I took them all out because it looked creepy. Instead the legs and the star are the slogan. I wanted to keep it really simple. Also, I think I can finally stop drawing street plans of Detroit.







I'm really glad this project is over. I've been awake since 7 am yesterday, and I can't decide whether to push through the pain and do some work on my dating book now, or try and wake up late tonight and start a nocturnal lifestyle.
