marketing 101 for the book arts

Calling all book artists! In preparation for a workshop that I’ll be doing for graduate students of a book arts program, I’m collecting data and examples of how people in the book arts are successfully marketing their work.

In exchange for the 5 to 10 minutes of your time that this survey will take, I’ll send you a summary of the results.

You can take this confidential survey…

paper bird's nest

I made this paper nest for our Christmas tree in an attempt to alleviate my guilt from removing a real nest in our eaves the day before Saturday's blizzard. I thought the nest was empty, but apparently it was home to a pair of very pissed-off birds who are now stalking our front door. I've been throwing crackers and bread crumbs out for them (our bird feeder stands empty). Lots of bird action chez nous...they may be homeless, but at least they're… Continue

ideas for artist books

After a week in Susan King's Ideas for Artist Books workshop at Shakerag, I'm brimming with new material for several projects. Susan's process works and was not at all what I expected. Much to my delight and surprise, I walked into our classroom that first night for orientation and ran into some old friends: Julia Cameron's The… Continue

paper art at anthropologie

Artist survival kit

My friend Bev Ryan, a full time working artist (go Bev!), sent me this Artist Survival Kit recently. I love the mix of Julia Cameron-esque support, mixed with irreverence, spunk and humor.

Back to basics with paper

I've noticed a trend in TV ads lately: paper. It caught my attention maybe six months ago with ads from CTI, Comcast and Microsoft. Beautiful paper butterflies unfurling on flowering paper trees, hand-drawn animated collages, flat-looking paper doll cut-outs. Just now, I witnessed back-to-back UPS and AT&T ads use the same "paper" treatment.

I'm sure that I'm not only one to notice this trend, but I can't find anything specifically about it online. As a book artist, it's sure… Continue
