Re: [BKARTS] BOOK_ARTS-L Digest - 15 Jul 2007 to 16 Jul 2007 (#2007-77)
Matthew, in regard to political art, I was recently notified that 3 of my political collages will be published in a forthcoming book from Howling Dog Press, Colorado titled: Cost of Freedom: An Anthology of Activism. I assume many other artists will be included as well. Hopefully the book will be a valuable visual resource of political art. I had sent the publishers images in Jan. 2006 and had given up ever hearing from them so I was surprised and pleased to hear the book is soon to be published.
