This is a small book of graffiti art from various people who have sent in pictures. Some the graffiti is short phrases while others are reworkings of the cracked plaster to make such images as dogs monsters, and continents. I thought this was a great concept and it was really interesting to look at.

This was a large book that had a wooden cover and backing. The idea of placing planks of wood for a cover was intriguing, and different. It gave the book weight and made it feel more important.

The images in this book were great. It had a comic feel to it. The writing was in German so I couldn’t understand anything but I really like the style of silk-screening. It was only done in two colors, blue and white on a tan paper.

The book is very small square book that reads as a comic. It’s a conversation between two dogs done in black and white. I was shocked at how expensive the book was because it was so small and in black and white.
6. Title: Ah Baby Baby
Author: Michal Zori
Price: $34
Binding Style: Saddle Stitch
Printing Method: Silk Screen
Edition Size: 155
This was another silk-screened book. I really like the construction of the book. The inside was on a heavy white paper and the cover was a tan heavy paper with a silk-screened tree on it. The cover had a curved flap that was connected by velcro. The only thing was that the paper inside was a little too heavy because it didn’t seem to fold well. But it probably had to be that heavy because of the silk-screening.
