Escape 3: Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll, an artist’s book

Escape 3: Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll         11 inches x 15 inches x .5 inc           2008

In this third and final volume of the Escape Series, the artist lands on Duval Street in Key West during a charming festival called Fantasy Fest. It is a cautionary tale with seven maps, seven pop ups, seven prints and accompanying stories from the Key West Citizen’s Police Briefs. Hard to believe, but I assure you, it is all true. I have seen it.

Book block is sewn with a kettle stitch using plywood covers wrapped in white denim with a plain brown wrapper. The endsheets are katazome paper. The edition size is 20.

This book is dedicated to a long time friend, Rick Reasin.
