Scans of 6 of the original matchbooks I made back in February the weekend prior to interviewing at Cranbrook. I thought I’d post these in light of the event I was a part of on Friday (see next post). I’ve been collecting matchbooks off the ground for the past 7-8 years now, and finally figured out something worthwhile to do with them. Putzy work, but I’m quite fond of them.

Oh, I almost forgot… After finishing the full alphabet, I did an image search for “matchbook art” and came across SubText, a nice blog about the NYC subway system. In particular, there was a post about Edwin Glass’ NYC matchbooks. I can’t believe I see this after leaving NYC. Found another image of what I can only assume is Edwin’s matches at Incidental Findings, another blog.
