These texts were all produced under the same basic constraints: the given format of a pre-made blank book using old papers/card I'd brought from Brussels; Chinese ink & paint brushes; old issues of Le Monde bought during the two weeks. Then good old-fashioned cut & paste. Sticky Pages in excelsis.

Journal

(6pp, A6, 5 prints plus cover image)

I put this together yesterday - in time for the impending exhibition. A series of workings-into images from the diary revisitings. Ink-intensive & so I doubt I'll do very many. (If you'd like one let me know).

46 pwoermds

this edition is of only 12 copies (A5) - I'd intended to do 24

but the pwoermds needed air to breathe on the page

if I can find more supplies of that green card I'll run off more

The first day of the new year & a new volume.

This is the fullcrumb horseries No. 3 - oncept.

No fancy papers this time. Back to basics. Minimalist austerity: punishment of tongs & going for a thong. The pwoermd as marginal spitch flung in the gob of parliamentary double talk?

Copies will go out to the usual suspects (anyone else let me know if you want one).

High winds & rain lashing Belgium today. What better to do than batten down the hatches, go upstairs and make a book?

Here's a first attempt at Japanese side-stitch binding and distressed papers. I'm reasonably pleased with the result (ham-fisted as I am). It's labour intensive, though - this one will be limited to an edition of six.

... said Valery - or something like that.

If so, then here is the result. After a rather idle, distracted & unfocused week an 'occasional' volume of pwoermds (or plain fresh spun puns) by way of a response (diagnosis?) of Geof Huth's "condition" as described in his Blog on the 10th August. The first of the fullcrumb horseries ...

Copies going out to the usual suspects ... anyone else?

2010-08-01T03:25:00.000-07:00

Thanks, of course, to Satu Kaikkonen for her assignment on the Time For A Vispo site (http://timeforavispo.blogspot.com/).

Fresh off the press!

Wri.the - a little volume of asemic writings.

The first attempt at printing on fine paper - and my scanner doesn't like the grey tone of the cover. So these photos are done with Photo Booth. And badly at that.

2010-05-28T11:31:00.000-07:00

A new experiment in making a folded book - here the physical constraints dictated the words.

I don't seem to be able to work out a way of setting up a template to do multiples (the nature of the folding means different angles for the pages). The only solution will be to do one-sided prints and then cut and glue. Unless, that is, anyone can suggest an alternative?

2010-05-18T08:35:00.000-07:00

The first volume of the pwoermd series is published today. The volumes will form part of the 'fullcrumb' series - some 15 or so.

The intention is to run them in A5 format with 4 pages - but it will depend on the groupings and what works best on a page. Some might simply be one fold printed on the inside.

This one has taken two hours to assemble - so if I can do one a day next week I'll be happy.

2010-04-15T02:50:00.000-07:00

Infusions (IV) is now available. The usual deal applies.

Here's a taster:

scraboutchatcha poem 7

Here's another - experimenting now in arranging and seeing how certain movements and attachments declare themselves.

A new series of orihons: Scraboutchatcha. Not sure how many will be worth printing up but I made 24 during the various meetings today.

It's a good format - small enough to be discreet, large enough to allow the hand and pen to move, dispensable enough that you don't feel constrained. Do another ... and another ... and another ... .

2010-03-01T12:11:00.000-08:00

Infusions (II) and (III) are now available. Usual terms apply.

Two respectful nods are due to Kit Robinson and Miles Champion.

gertrude buttons alice
palpable alphabet
I am language to my finger tips
let the nouns speak for themselves
substance is a cushion
sudden slice changes the plate
the wisdom of necessary distances
bound sequiturs swerve words
rounding corners of sense
rhythmically propelling
wriggly boxed-in logics
