I get asked, sometimes....

Occasionally I'm asked what does one kind of my drawings have anything to do with another kind that I've previously made - so I crated a page to explain.

I don't, but if I had an optometry business this is the t-shirt I would make to sponsor the local little league team.

Durable Bookbinding summer class

I'm teaching a Durable Bookbinding class again: July 8-Aug at the EFA. Tuesday evenings.

"This class represents Teplin's version of his ideal book - which he binds for use as his own sketchbooks as well as one-of-a-kind artist books. Knowledge of basic book binding is not necessary. Teplin will step students through binding their own books from start to finish so that everyone on the class walks away with their own blank book. He will display 20 examples of perviously bound books which the class is welcome to look through. A new one-of-a-kind artist book by Teplin can be seen here."
