I am here for Friends

About Me


My Interests

Book Arts, book binding, Print making, paper making, letterpress, ATCs, altered books, artists' books, marbling, paste paper, journals, photo albums, Gig Posters, show posters. graffiti art, graphic novels, comic books, zines.

I'd like to meet:

People interested in the book arts or in Minnesota arts in general! Anyone who likes to create.

Books:

Does MCBA love books? What a silly question. Of course I'm partial to the handmade variety, but I really like the Time Traveler's Wife- mostly because the main character was an artist who made paper and paper sculptures. Audrey Niffenegger is a book artist. I can get behind that.
