\"relief<\/a>

Relief-printed cover (on red, book-cloth-wrapped boards). 4 3\/8in x 3 3\/8in x 1in. Click to enlarge.<\/p><\/div>\n

This book was created for Monumental in Miniature Books II<\/strong>. Photos of all of the books are on Flickr<\/a>. Every artist sent in an edition of 5 to the organizer, and soon, these (plus many, many other artists’ editions of 5) will be divided up into 5 different collections. Some of these collections will then be curated for traveling exhibitions all over the world. The rules were simply to create an edition of 5 books (or more–artist keeps any additional book) that were no larger than 5in x 4in x 1in, and could be in any printmaking medium.<\/p>\n

Pig, Hog, Bacon<\/em><\/strong> is actually an edition of 13 (which means I have 8 books currently), and the story visually follows the life cycle of a feeder pig. <\/p>\n

It measures 4 3\/8in x 3 3\/8in x 1in, and is a 4-color reduction relief (linoleum) print on the one side, backed by a 1-color bacon print on the other. The cover is hard boards, wrapped in relief-printed red book cloth. Old feedsack twine is used to tie it together.<\/p>\n
