Hello from Greece,

I would like to make a collaborative art book and send a few pages from a Greek book to artists that are interested. You can alter them (paint them, use collage, photos or anything else you want on them). Please do not crop these pages because I intend to bind them together in order to create an art book, made out of 30-40 mail artists.
