 here's the book
 karen kunc

and here are a few more 
photos to entice you.
 jody williams
 tim ely
 alisa golden
 jan owen
 beata wehr
i LOVE this book!
and the next two
especially,
but then i can find work 
on every page
that moves me. 
 hedi kyle
there is such variety here
i keep finding new work 
from artists i respect.
(i won't photograph every page, 
you must see for yourself)
sandra salamony and
peter and donna thomas did a fine job.

  8. wellllll you've done it again V - MORE things for me to need...... I'm not going to have enough $$$ to buy the chook food at this rate! (on a small note - I wish there were a larger number of overseas booky artists amongst those 1000...... I know I know - no need to tell me.... we always lament about who's NOT in a book don't we..... the pages you've shown look scrumdillyumptious!

  9. jean, i hope you like 1000-- it's good but i so want to touch the things. the good thing is i'm seeing new artists and old stalwarts, too!
    alice, it's pretty fine
    ronnie, well, you could eat them...the chooks (chickens, right?) ...and it is a u.s. publication...but i totally agree.
