a.b.a.w. is
Writing & illustrating a book every week
A Book A Week
Now, this book will consist of anything you can think of. OK, that sounds a bit vague, but the idea is to accumulate a visual atmosphere or profile or personality or series of notions or notations that yo decide upon to assemble. Still vague I know. If you love type, this could be an emotional exploration or experimentation of type use. Images could be used with this. Photographs, paintings, drawings, or both or all, or anything else.
Maybe you want to paint. You will plan out a time frame and work on a series of paintings. you will photograph them, reproduce them and bind them into a book. An illustrated book. A picture book, a scrap, a visual hate list, a visual love list.
It must be designed and thought out.
A coffee table type art book potentially. It is a series. Any kind of series accumulated, designed and bound. I want the idea and subject matter to be entirely up to you.
The size and shape, medium is entirely up to you. Spooky I know. The only requirement is that by the set time frame, you must have a beautiful book.
A book is anything. Anything more than a page unless yo can convince us otherwise. It may not even be made of paper. A car is a book and the people in it are the pages. You must somehow document this and present it.
Potentially just verbally, but with the visual.
Some kind of hard item must accompany whatever your concept is each week. A book is any accumulation of anything. At least in theory.
