I had seven days to create a book. Here you followed a work in progress. We were going to see if in a week I had a finished product. for Sketchbook Project 2013. If not - zilch. Today is the day I must have it in the mail going to Brooklyn, New York. The book isn’t finished , but I wouldn’t say I have zilch. There are some interesting pairings happening. I have the beginning of an Artists’ Book. Right now it is a traditional 7″ x 10″ codex book. But the opportunities for change are endless. Check out this website about Artists’ Books. http://www.philobiblon.com/isitabook/bookarts/index.html
The book was going to be titled, Chairs, but now I’m thinking the title will be Sit. I’ll probably add some text, maybe just a few adverbs thrown in. The readers will be the ones to interpret the book’s contents. It may be a one-of-a-kind Artists’ Book or a small edition of 30. The structure of the book will probably stay the same. Maybe I’ll make a small edition of Sit just xeroxing the contents, binding it or stapling it together in order to sell it on Amazon.com for a very reasonable price.
Would you download a free Artists’ eBook?

Looks like it’s going to be a very interesting book, Carla. I like the title Sit – excellent. Good luck in getting it all done. And, yes, I would download it for free – but rather pay for the book.

Happy New Year, Binny!
OK on that ! We’ll see how it goes.

hi Carla, it’s a wonderful book – but I enjoy online websites – e-books do not have so many readers like websites – so, it’s hard to earn money – better to make an exposition in a shop or cafe?
January 22, 2013 at 2:43 pm |
The websites are good. I like the interaction with people. I could do that. The last exhibit I did was then going to turn into a book but hasn’t yet.I’ve moved on. I’m thinking of printing this book, but then I need to get into the marketing part which is another whole ball of wax.

my wife, a professional photographer, earned more money via visitors of her exhibitions than via internet presentation (= nothing – like me).
