Lay Flat 02: Meta



Lay Flat 02: Meta, the second issue of Lay Flat is currently in production and is in need to additional funds. If you can, make a donation to help print and distribute the issue. Any donations of $50 or over will receive a tote bag with the Lay Flat logo, but no donation is too small. Issue 01 was great, and is already sold out, and this new issue looks even better. I am very excited to have an essay in the upcoming issue and can't wait to see it.

JL editions


© Michael Schmelling and JL Books, All Rights Reserved

JL Books has a number of great limited editions and artists books now available that are all very reasonably priced - especially given many are only in editions of 10-30. All of them look pretty great, but some stand outs are: Michael Schmelling's mystery envelope, which contains a small collection of prints; David La Spina's xeroxed book on Mamaroneck, with hand-tipped photos; Ed Panar's collection of prints enclosed in a glassine envelope, Relics; Darin Mickey's collection of prints in a HR envelope; and finally Gregory Halpern's Omaha Sketchbook.
