 WAITING LIST: We encourage people who want to participate to add your name, even after we reach the 20 mark. Experience shows that the line-up is "in flux" at the beginning.

The book page format will be the same as for the Asemic collaborations (1-3) - 2 sheets folded A4 - ie 8 sides. You will need to make 20 copies and post to each person on the list - the addresses will be added to this discussion once we have got confirmation from all the participants. Again - these collaborations only work if everyone commits and endures!

The page format will be the same as for Asemics 1 - 3. Two sheets A4 Folded in half giving 8 sides. You will need to make twenty copies and post one to each of the artists collaborating in this venture.  Please note again - these projects only work if everyone COMMITS and remains committed. Please think carefully before we make the final list. We will call for confirmation again once 20 people have put their names down. Many thanks.

Thanks CP-SA, I've attempted to establish an "official list" in the main part of the thread. 

This is great! We have old friends from the asemics campaign as well as some artists whose abilities are known and their contributions should be very interesting, to say the least. And, of course, we always like the folks who might not have all the experience & accolades but are ready to jump in. Trial by fire, or however the expression goes.

Yes, favorite artists? Given the line-up, I can't wait to see.

Katerina, I would, maybe, discourage people doing homages to themselves? But whatever.

Welcome Victoria Barvenko (Russia)

Welcome Svetlana!

GRAZIE  projekt FRIEND  De Villo Sloan and Cheryl Penn !!!!

KDJ, it looks like you are in on the top list. We have not yet hit 20.

At this point, now that the initial rush is over, I encourage you to make sure you've read how the collaborative book process works. It does involve some work. We completely understand if people reconsider.

We're taking another break. Please posting comments as needed.

I would love to do this. Confirmation will depend on the deadline, which I don't see anywhere yet--but will keep looking.
