Order Nr. 103050

Dumit Estévez's work is a devotional guide taking an artist or "pilgrim" on a journey, undertaken "for art's sake." This witty commentary on the obstacles faced by contemporary artists provides inspirational guidelines and budgetary considerations, as well as suggestions for "blessings," "props," and "penances."

This book was printed and bound at the Center in an edition of 100 copies. Concept, text, and illustrations by Nicolás Dumit Estévez, and page layout and letterpress printing by Amber McMillan. Text (handset Scotch Roman type) and illustrations (polymer plates) printed on Arches paper with hand-painted design by Ana Cordeiro. Aesthetic Credential letterpress printed and designed by McMillan and Dumit Estévez (handset Scotch Roman type and polymer plates on hand-cut Fabriano Elle Erre paper). Covered in red cotton velvet with red velvet button and yellow string for closure; binding tied with yellow string and finished with a red tassel.
