Say Hi To Marty From The Face Zone

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be profiling some of the tablers at the DC Art Book Fair. 

First up is Martin Graff, maker of The Face Zone, a trippy art book http://www.thefacezone.com/ that serves up wit and wisdom for “just seconds or minutes of your time,” he says. 

This video shows what his art book is all about: 

What’s your day job? 

By day, I'm a high school English teacher at West Potomac High in Alexandria, VA. The rest of the time, I'm a creator of surreal daydreams to trip your imagination.

Why do you make art books and zines? 

Our times beg for an authentic, resonant voice to break through the clamor and clutter with art that inspires us to notice the world through creative eyes, to ask deeper critical questions, and to enjoy the ride along the way.

Advice for aspiring art book makers? 

Less is more.

Fun fact about YOU?

I was feet away from being trampled by a water buffalo in Hong Kong.
