The eighth Mis.Steps issue (and my second cover for the project ) came out this summer. The design is a bit 70s underground-inspired and the image is one of my photos.
I also did a set of notecards (postcards with blank backs) using some of my ink drawings. The first round of notecards were one color, but we’re considering other options.
Cover and cards were printed by Jimmy Riordan/Jackrabbit Press, Anchorage Alaska. Order booklets or cards here.
This summer, Laura Zurowski asked if I’d design the cover for the 7th issue in her Mis.Steps project. Laura started Mis.Steps in 2017, inspired by a book cataloging the city steps of Pittsburgh. She’s visiting all 700+ sets of city steps, taking a Polaroid and writing a bit at each location Twice a year, she puts out a booklet.
I also love the city steps and have long wanted to do some art project connected to them, so it was great to be asked to get involved. Our discussions continued over the summer and into fall and it ended up being a great collaboration. I got free reign to redesign the booklets and did a series of pen and ink illustrations; things went so well, we ended up doing a poster too.
Both are available from the Mis.Steps website. The booklet is $15 and includes a folded poster on lightweight paper. The poster by itself is $10, printed on heavier paper and mailed in a tube.
Mis.Steps is also available at Printed Matter in New York and has been accepted for their Virtual Art Book Fair in February.
