This video starts with The Naughty Nineties prototype pop-up book that I created in the late seventies/early eighties for the Frankfurt Book Fair, and it was the prototype for the commercial version(s) of the Naughty Nineties first published in 1982 and was translated into several languages (selling over 300,000 copies). It's a long story .... Screendreams is a prototype also shown at the Frankfurt book Fair but which has not beenmass produced. The other 3 are pop-up artists books exhibited nationally and internationally. |
