I made a book out of vintage graph paper I picked up at a garage sale this summer, using the techniques from the almighty How To Make Books.
I made a simple envelope for the disc out of some cardstock printed with braille. You can't see it in these pictures, but it's there and believe me, it's cool. I stuffed all of it into one of Tristan's bass string packages. (Trade secret: Bass string envelopes are the PERFECT size for a disc and booklet. Befriend a bass player and you'll be set.)
Inside was the track list and a story, of sorts.
I like books that are interactive. Things can be removed, put back in, additions can be made... The illustrations are part of the story but they can also all be removed, in various ways, without damaging the book itself.
Meet me, circa 1993. Rolled up pants? Check. Minnesota Timberwolves jersey? Check. Wicked cowlick? Check. And there's James, helping me with homework. Now he's all tall and witty and I can make him mix tapes. I like that.
