Back at the end of 2007 I had the naive idea that I would send around a book to be altered. This book is called "Great Stars of Hollywood's Golden Age" and despite the aghast manner in which someone treated me when they found out I was destroying books..this campy little paperback was heading towards the rubbish when my brother found it on a nature strip.

I am now taking my plea to the internet. Is there anyone interested in altering a book? If I get sufficient interest (either comment below or email me at louisa.giffard@gmail.com) I'll consider sending it out, to be sent to artistic types around the country (or the world..) to be altered and added to. Nothing too gluey and chunky because with paperbacks it makes them almost impossible to close. I found that the hard way with the last book I did.

Below is just a little image I found in a Trentemoller CD that I liked, and drew on a page in purple pen. I just felt like drawing it..and..the book was there gathering dust so I decided I'd try and restart the "project."

Either that or I'll just do the entire book myself..as a sort of..alternative sketchbook. Fine either way but it would be interesting to make this a community project.
