The Little Otsu Living Things Series is a new collection of mini art books where different artists each explore one idea based around the theme of living things. The first in this series is by Lizzy Stewart and is called "A Guide to Eastern European Wildlife." Bursts of color shoot from the mouths of wolves and bears look on as carefully rendered unknown European towns are off in the distance. There are birds in flight and an owl on a perch, buildings on the backs of deer and tiny animals wearing tiny hats; all beautifully drawn in interchanging full and single color. Limited edition of 1000. Saddle-stitched booklet, 16 pages (half full-color, half single color), white 80 lb text, 5.875" wide x 9" tall. Printed in Oakland, CA on 100% post-consumer recycled paper with soy-based inks.
