I am speaking to Lloyd Nebres' class of high school webloggers at UC Berkeley this morning about weblogs and art.
In June I made three birthday books (see album): for Ann's sister, Mary Jane (May 23); for MJ's daughter, Shannon (June 16); and for MJ's husband, Peter (June 17). These are each 10-12 pages, handpainted on good paper, sewn together, around 6x7 inches. I scanned each page before sewing them together. There is a bit of an inside joke to each of these books, especially the fact that MJ & P are now the owners of a 200 year old house in midwest France to which they will retire in the next few years, and that P is a devoted White Sox fan.
