So when I first created this blog and begun to sell my books, I also developed an artist card. Since the first one, I've gone through 3 designs but the basic premise has remained the same; my artist card is a mini book-zine to stay true to my DIY aesthetic.
my first card was not at all slick-handwritten, glue sticked, photocopied much like the zines of the 90s underground scene.
the text is the same as the sidebar to this blog.
I went through some other designs that I was not too fond of so they had limited runs and I couldn't find evidence of my taking pictures of them...
My current one is very different. It incorporates my own photos as backgrounds to each page and was designed on the computer.
the text is a little more philosophical/political and less autobiographical than my original one, but it's in a way, much more my own than previous ones......and though it doesn't quite fold too well (illustrator and me printing don't quite work out too well) it is my favorite
For my intro to film class we were assigned a creative project. With little desire to actually try to fit in filming a film into my hectic schedule, I instead thought, "why not use the skills I actually have" and made a storyboard into an artist's book. Simple concept that worked in practice.
closed with string to help keep the case for the book closed and storyboard safe
open. the book is a maze book folded from a single sheet of paper
expanded all the way to make a more traditional storyboard
