Working With A Series
Since we are working with Couch Paintings it only seemed natural to move towards the requisite coffee table and the book on it.
Wikipedia describes a “coffee table book as a hardcover book that is intended to sit on a coffee table or similar surface in an area where guests sit and are entertained, thus inspiring conversation or alleviating boredom. They tend to be oversized and of heavy construction, since there is no pressing need for portability. Subject matter is generally confined to non-fiction, and is usually visually oriented (perfect for us.) Since they are aimed at anyone who might pick the book up for a light read, the analysis inside is often more basic and with less jargon than other books on the subject. Because of this, the term "coffee table book" can be used pejoratively to indicate a superficial approach to the subject.”
How perfect, since Couch Painting is also an artistic dirty word.


The Rules:
- It should be original art (how do you like that for a twist.)
- It needs to be enough work to fill a book.
- Again you must have fun with the idea.
Good readingg your post
