mozz is excited to participate in BABZ 2017, organized by Blonde Art Books and taking place at Knockdown Center, June 2-4, 2017. Here is where we're figuring it out.
Above is a sketch in progress. What if companies open-sourced the full process of design and production? I suppose that would violate a non-disclosure agreement, or maybe worse hurt the brand in some way. Regardless,
Here's a table of work in progress for BABZ 2017, arranged alphabetically by author or organization. Some projects will happen; others may not. Things may end up on the table that aren't listed here.
As George Carlin once said, "Only time will tell."
