Since last year we have an issue of David Dellafiora's "Wipe" magazine: each issue consists of 40 sheets of toilet paper from all over the world (stamped, designed). Of course, during the #Corona Pandemic it took on a very special meaning. A second edition has now been added. My 6-yo daughter designed a page 🙃. Incidentally, it is quite astonishing how the formats, colors and stability of the papers differ 🚽

I want to start shutting down my wife’s #Etsy shop this year for a bunch of reasons (her work is still going to be available elsewhere including the Open Book and direct from me, so if you’ve been contemplating a lovely journal, handmade box or other pretty, now would be a good time. Just poke me out here too so I remember to follow up. #JanaPullman #bookarts #handmade https://www.etsy.com/shop/westernslopebindery?ref=condensed_trust_header_title_sold

Okay, most of the time. I'm going to go downstairs and play video games when it gets too hot up here.

The LAND2 / University of the the West of England Bookarts symposium 'Printmaking, Artists’ books, Landscape and Nature' was brilliant last week — showing the amazing work that comes when artists work with scientists, geographers, geologists, poets and more. There’s an archive page with presenters' links here: https://bookarts.uwe.ac.uk/land2day/

Hi! I haven't been here for a while; I've been traveling in Spain and then NYC. Here's a gift from Madrid, a stunning bookbinding on display at the Arte del Libro museum made by Vicente Cogollor Mingo in 1964. #bookart #BookArts #BookHistory
