Mark Snyder's Fiji Island Mermaid Press = Friday Art Fun!

Triceratops on Stage, Marc Snyder
I wanted to share this great site that I stumbled upon, Fiji Island Mermaid Press. Linocuts, artists' books, drawing, collage, and more by Marc Snyder. He has info on how to make small books from one sheet of paper, free artists' books for download by himself and other artists, and how to make a linocut.

Snyder has a Book of the Month Club that you can subscribe to and get a little handmade book with copies of his linocuts and other mixed media mailed to you once a month. I am requesting a subscription for Alkek Library!

Check out Snyder's wonderful Blog, Flickr, and Tumblr sites too!
