Freedom of Expression #16 (1992)

"Mini-Booklets, Tiny Treasures, etc."

This plain package contains four little booklets and other tiny treasures that date back to my beginnings as a neurotic weirdo not-quite-a-‘zine maker.
I got my start doing this in a very flexible art class run by a brilliant and intuitive art teacher named Jack McCaslin when I was an undergraduate Sociology major at James Madison University. Although it was a "traditional" printmaking class, he allowed me to use the photocopier rather than a silkscreen to do what I needed to do.

I don’t know of any other art teacher who would allow someone to do this, but he encouraged me to pursue this avenue even when I was skeptical.

I don’t know where I would be today if it weren’t for his help back then. Anyway, I’m usually embarrased of old stuff I have made, but I’m still quite proud of these little things.
