For more information about artists books may I suggest a good starting point is the National Art Library at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London (Yes, I do have work in the collection)

My biblionautic chums and friends, I had planned a summer exhibition. However, as with nearly all things this has been put on hold. But have no fear, if you cannot come to the exhibition.. the exhibition comes to you. Featuring work from my personal collection and new works. Further live posts will be at 11.00 hrs BST, everyday, give or take. Please forgive the one or two blips and the odd shake! Please note, if there are days missing in your group it is because I only post to groups that I feel may find the post of interest or keep in line with the ethos or criteria of the group. For example this Studio 5 going live has not been shared with the 'Ring Road Truckers' as there are no trucks, truckers or indeed ring roads featured.
Please note all subjects are valid for the maker....including kittens but life is not just about kittens, there are other ways of doing things and opinions. ..... spelling and grammar. Please further note, the opinion of the author may change at any moment. This is due to having an open mind... of sorts.
For a short film please follow the link below the images.
