about dog eared magazine...

We want to bring creativity and inspirational instruction to anyone who wants to make art books, whether they are artists who love the idea of creating art in book form, teachers trying to get students interested in SOMETHING, or avid journalers who need to make their own perfect journal. dog eared magazine covers techniques of traditional and contemporary bookbinding while keeping a careful eye on the content and purpose of an artist’s book. Our focus is very concrete- we’ll play with books of all kinds, but won’t stray too far from the subject of BOOKS.

Individual issues follow a particular theme. Past themes have included Photocopy Books, Folds, Altered Books, Metal, Zines, Miniature Books, Pop-Ups and Sculptural Books, Ancient Books, Decks of Cards, Collage, Editions, and Fabric Books. Future themes are Photography, Living History Artists' Books, and Paper.

In our three years, dog eared magazine has featured artwork and articles by well-known book artists, such as Shereen LaPlantz, Michael Jacobs, Claudine Hellmuth, Karen Michel, Beth Cote, Judith Hoffman, Richard Minsky and Patricia Grass, accompanied by regular articles by publisher and book artist Kerrie Carbary, and “How Does it Work?” columnist Scott M. Taylor. Every issue also contains how-to articles, inspirational conceptual articles, idea generators, and lots and lots of artists’ books.

Another regular feature is our “Honest Reviews” column, which gives refreshing honest reviews of products, books and supplies that every book artist should have in their toolbox. The impartial reputation of the Honest Reviews column makes it a valued resource for our readers, and gives store owners and advertisers an excellent chance to not only promote their own products, but to also tie in products with each issue of dog eared magazine. We are always accepting the submissions of products to be reviewed in our Honest Reviews column. Be warned, though- our reviewers don’t pull any punches!

Our first year was extremely popular; the first three issues sold out quickly. Because of the high demand, we have reprinted our first year in a Year One Compilation book, which contains Issue One: Photocopy Books, Issue Two: Folds, Issue Three: Altered Books, and Issue Four: Metal. Our second and third years have proved to be just as popular, with our subscription base and single issue sales growing steadily.
