Title
Artist's books
Description
Original art books created by Marc Snyder & other artists, which start as a mixed media image, incorporating drawing, painting, collage, rubber stamps, photographs, and printed text. Then the image is xeroxed onto high quality resume paper, then cut and folded in a very clever way to make an eight page book. These are single-sheet origami or maze books. Some issues are a bit different from the typical "book". For example (2013 [no.2]): On the envelope was a linocut of a howling dog, with "Rex Howls At..." in pencil, with another linocut in the envelope title "The Moon". These books were purchased through the Book of the Month club that the artist offered. They were mailed almost every month.
