The book was created, hand printed and bound by the artist on Rives heavyweight paper. Each image was drawn on textured mylar with graphite and stabilo pencils and exposed onto aluminum photo-lithographic plates. The plates were proofed and editioned in black ink by the artist at Brooklyn College on a Griffin lithographic press. Once the images were printed, the text was added using an Epson Pro Stylus 4800 printer. The text was printed in Herculanum font. Seven of the images were then cut into thirds, and sewn together using waxed linen thread. The last image is left whole. The three signatures were then secured with an inner cover sheet of Magnani Pescia, and an outer cover sheet of Mouchette. The title on the cover was screen-printed in waterbased ink at Brooklyn College by the artist. Once completed, each book was hand colored using primarily Prismacolor colored pencils. In the end, the divided sections combine to create hundreds of images with interchangeable tops, middles, and bottoms. My daughters' childrens books served as inspiration for the structural layout of the book.
