I don’t know how many hundreds of space-related themed postage stamps were created during the Cold War era, but I seemingly have a limitless supply of these. The bit of Indian script, (Hindi perhaps?) is mysterious.ĭo I have to mention that I’m sifting through and using a ton of space-related postage stamps? All the numbers in a line looks like a secret code. The answer key contains the pound sign, which looks strange to me, only because I don’t see it often. Often times I incorporated papers that were not space related, like the scrap of math problems from an old British school book. After that, I started working on collages with all the materials I could find that were space related, and that I could make work together. I tore out some of the pages to make room for the layers of collaging paper that were going to eventually fatten the book. Shorthand looks like it could be a language used in outer space, doesn’t it? Of course, I needed a postmark or two, and some number stamps, to make everything look official. To me it looks a little like a creature from outer space.Īfter I had the “photo” in, I started to play with paper scraps that might look strange to someone who had never seen shorthand, for example. I knew immediately what I wanted to use – what I always thought was a very strange image of dog on a 1974 Hungarian postage stamp. The identification page is neat and requires a picture. I knew I wanted to make a Mars-passport gluebook of all things space-related, just for fun. Immediately I started to imagine what it would be like someday if people really did carry a Mars passport. Last year I was in a small bookshop when I came across some small notebooks created by a company called The Unemployed Philosophers Guild. They have awesome “passport” notebooks, like the Canada Passport, Oz Passport, Hell Passport, and the one I like best, the Mars Passport. That way I don’t get bored with what I am working on. I like the distraction of moving between several projects.
I typically work on several gluebooks simultaneously.
