Making a Book

I finally completed my first book, An American Comedy! I am publishing it through BOOKMACHINE books + zines, and it will be officially released February 3rd at Hibbleton Gallery during the Downtown Fullerton Art Walk.

Yesterday, my grandma Sally helped me hand-bind the first copies of the book. I am using a thread and tape binding method, like they use for old school composition books.

You can read the book online HERE. But it's more fun to read physical books, so come to the art walk Feb. 3rd and pick up your very own copy!
