#collaborative book

Hi, I’m Cactus and my step-brother and best friend, Wattle, and I are trying to write a collaborative book. We have a general plotline and some ideas for characters, but we were wondering if anyone would be willing to do some concept art? We are writing this historical/fantasy book in order to bring mental and physical disorders, mental illnesses and the historical and modern day issues surrounding the LGBTQ+ community into a new light. If you’re interested, let me know and I will release a detailed description of each of the characters and a brief description of their backgrounds.

Enjoy Survival Knife #00, a funky book from the stacks. This collaborative artists’ book from Booklyn Artists Alliance was the product of a print/multiples exchange between over 50 artists with ties to Iowa City. It was compiled in 2010 by artist Joshua Doster. The contents—some of it original art—lives in a red pressboard file folder with pocket folders inside attached with metal fasteners. Inside is home to prints and art work from the collaborating artists. The pieces read as a kind of wacky stream of consciousness, from found objects to original art, collages, redacted poetry, and even an “FBI confidential file”. The banana knife on the cover is my favorite element.
