Cool new books

This is a collaborative series... the covers feature original linocut relief prints by none other than my awesomely talented and generally wonderful husband, Casey Sorrow. The above book features a portrait of the revolutionary Ché Guevara, simply titled, "Ché."


The first "Ché" book measures 10.5"x6.75" and is bound at the top. The image has a white border. The book block is made of premium Strathmore Bristol, a high quality artist paper for sketching and drawing with a smooth finish perfect for pen and ink drawing with no bleeding.







The second "Ché" book measures 7.75"x5.75" and is bound on the side, in a conventional journal style. The image on this book goes right to the edge. The 96 page book block is 32lb 25% cotton rag paper, a high quality writing paper.


Next is the first in a series of four books featuring Casey's artwork inspired by old war comics. All of these books are journals, measuring 7.75"x5.75" with 96 pages of 32lb 25% cotton rag paper.

Below is "Blood Groove."


The next in the series, "BOHICA." (An acronym for Bend Over Here It Comes Again)






























I especially love this next one, "A New Day."

































And finally, "Gun Bunny."


















The artwork on the front covers are original Artists Proofs of the relief prints, they are not photocopies. You're getting the real art here!

Casey's website also offers these and other prints for sale individually, ready to frame. There is a limited run of each print, but I believe he still has some for sale of each image.

All of these books are for sale on my etsy site.
