Yes, recent like since the 80s, which would cover Drucker. I don't think we have much control of the things that interest Drucker, although her books on art more generally are of help. What I think we need is a gathering of references to work and ...
Good question. Recent research I assume you mean?
The obvious one is Joanna Drucker's book, but thats not very recent anymore.
Has anyone here read this? So far among book artists I know it has generated some heat. I incorporated it in a draft article http://ocotilloarts.com/FourTraditions.pdf which has also generated some heat. Being conflict avoidant, I'd like some take...

- Thanks for the links! I'll spend some time with them tomorrow.
Have you had difficulties with photoshop? My brother in law gave me some great advice when I first got it- I have the cheapie, Elements version- which was, don't try to figure out all the things it can do. Figure out what you want it to do and how to make it do it. It helped me focus amid all the magic and after about 2or 3 solid months of slogging through, I had it. I will never know all the things it can do, but I can use the ones I want. Let me know if you have questions after you look at my website. L.

- I had not heard of Golden gel transfer- that sounds like something to look in to- I agree that getting text and image to blend is very difficult. When I am making my books on photoshop(see my web site) it's no problem, but with collage it's another story. I got some transparent "paper" to print type on and then put on to the collages- it has a sticky back- but I haven't spent much time with it yet- it's shiny, which may be a problem. I'll look for the things you mentioned-
The problem with my handwriting I think is just that I've always hated it- I've worked on it a lot and it's better, but still clumsy-
Any more info you have aobut transfer materials would be greatly appreciated- or info on where to look. Thanks! Lisa

I wholly agree. Have just added a comment to that effect on the 21st Cent. book discussion. Some comics artists are breaking out of boundaries that 'artists' book makers' are puzzling over. Maybe it's not so complicated.

- Hi Charles, many thanks for your response. I had a browse of your website and am very impressed with your work. Have downloaded the PDF of your article (Now the artist's book now) and so much of it accords with my own thoughts and experience. It would be good to discuss by email, if you wish. My email is on the sidebar of my blog:
