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

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