Crap Hound #5: Hands, Hearts & Eyes -- ALMOST SOLD OUT!

84 pgs, standard, 4 color cover designed by Art Chantry and Jamie Sheehan

We're down to our last box! 

Between a brief introduction and the end credits, Crap Hound is pure imagery. Each page is filled with high-contrast art, carefully taken from vintage catalogs, advertising, obscure books, and found ephemera. Through sheer volume of artfully arranged iconography, Issue No. 5 visually explores popular meaning, cultural ideals and historic symbolism of Hands, Hearts & Eyes. This is the 2nd revised and expanded edition, published by Show & Tell press in 2005.

Debuting in 1994, Crap Hound became a favorite of both zine readers and publishers, and has received enthusiastic reviews from sources including The New York Times Magazine, RE/Search Books, the American Institute Graphic Arts, and the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum.
