 WATCH YOUR STEP
Artists
Fred Rinne, Dana Smith, and Scott Williams have created a hand-made
book that combines
digital photo-collage, stencil painting, and text. The
book called, Watch Your Step, is digitally printed with
archival paper and inks, hand-bound, and painted in an edition of ten.

San Francisco, 2007. Watch Your Step is represented by Booklyn
Artists' Alliance.
Copies of this book reside in these collections:
