DUMMIES ON DEMAND

I love to make "dummies on demand": small to larger artist books made by hand. 

You select a number of images (1 to 8) from my website and/or instagram and I build a little world in print around it by adding other images, editing, sequencing, binding and graphic design. An edition of one. A pièce unique, made for you. You can find some examples on my Instagram feed.

If you prefer not to pick specific images but rather want to be surprised, that's possible as well. In that case, I start working based on a small conversation we have. I like to challenged by your perspective on my work.

Prints are made with an inkjet printer on a variety of papers, depending on what the work needs. Size varies depending on what the book needs (from small to large), as does the number of pages. 

Heads up: the books are handmade at home, so they always tend to have some "imperfections". 

There's no fixed timeline but I Iike to keep the process relatively short (3 to 8 weeks). I give you regular updates. You only get to see the book when it arrives in your mailbox.

Update July 2024: 

I'm finishing up several books right now. So I can't take on new dummies on demand for a while ...
