I worked with Artist Image Resource (A.I.R.) to create an interactive screen-printed book that tells the story of how I became friends with Anthony J. Mainiero, aka Mister Tony. On the surface, it is a comic, but it also transforms into a 22” x 30” photographic portrait of Tony (see video below).
This limited-edition book is signed and printed, measuring 5.5” x 7.5” x .5” with a total edition of 50 copies. It is printed on 90 lb acid-free, 100% Cotton Legion Stonehenge Paper. Due to its archival, long-lasting nature, this book can be read, turned into a poster, and even framed without degrading over time. Each purchase comes with an acid-free, lignin-free, buffered cream paper envelope to extend the life of this book.
This project was created for the exhibition Not Approved By The Comics Code at A.I.R., curated by Joseph Lupo from his ongoing interview series. Extra special THANKS to everyone at A.I.R. for all the support. Lastly, SPECIAL THANKS to Mister Tony’s Daughter Sandra Kiniry for providing additional contextual information for the portrait side of the poster.
