As some of you know, I have been working on an artist's book with Spuyten DuyvilPress (www.spuytenduyvil.net)....The book will be a compilation of artist's self-portraits done in crayon.....You are invited to participate. The first 100 drawings received will go to print. There may be subsequent volumes depending on participation and costs. I am collecting the drawings while also considering and exhibition space......the book may happen later than the exhibition but I would like best if they happened at the same time. This is potentially a good show and and an even stronger book but it will only become actual if the drawings are made! So what I need from any of you who would like to contribute is : 11x14" Strathmore Drawing paper, 400 series(comes in a pad of 20 sheets): A self-portrait using crayon ONLY, Yes,the Crayola kind.....please,no oilstick, pencil ,pastel etc. (One main point is to see the diversity that can happen with this single, very simple and surprisingly difficult medium). On the back of the drawing ,in pencil, write: name,address,email,city ,state , country and phone#. Also, .....please invite other artists to join.... I was attempting to keep the first book and exhibition private and by personal invite so it wouldn't get out of hand....but I have decided to let it take off whichever way. If you are in the NYC area I would rather take the work by hand but if not then send to: Walter Markham. 365 Ocean Av. #4A Brooklyn NY 11226. Please understand that the drawings that are sent by mail (regular post only)are at your own risk.....as far as legal issues...the works are yours but the signature on back releases it for reproduction.
