'Home with a Guardian', by Mickey Offal, is the first BOX produced artist's book, made in collaboration with Yelena Popova. Ten pages cover to cover, featuring eight original drawings and an introductory text by Mickey himself. Here's a quote:
I actually made these drawings while at work. I work on the phone as a telemarketer, at- tempting to get people to go join a gym. This work can be very annoying, but I have discovered that drawing while on the phone can really help to keep me calm. Interestingly enough I believe I have done some of my most successful drawings at work. The ones here were done in a note book given to me for use in my job. They are different types of home with a guard- ian. I don’t like to write too much about the visual art I create, because, as much as possible, I like to try and keep it just that: visual. As well as draw, i paint, sculpt and write.
I hope to publish 'Home with a Guardian' (Artist's BOKS No1) in colour on decent paper, but for now check out the above pic for an idea.
