The Passport Office has been invited to take up residence at Malmö Artist’s Book Biennial. (MABB)
My Passport Officer shirt is being altered, (a new patch will be made) and a redesign for both the Passports and official rubber stamps has been requested. 22 stamps for all the participating stalls, publishers and book artists will be sourced from my collection, or especially carved.
I'm very excited.
It takes place on 20/21 April 2018.
How will it be received ? Come along or watch this space and find out!

MABB – Malmö Artists’ Books Biennial, will be a Swedish and International exhibition and selling platform for art works that are inspired by the structural and conceptual properties of the book form.
MABB, arranged for the first time 2018, will invite both national and international artists, publishers, booksellers and organizations to participate in the first International fair for artist’s books in Sweden – an art genre that is attracting more and more attention.
My niece and I had such a great time running our Passport Office at the Bristol Artist Book Event.
Here are a few photographs from the day. All photographs by Tom Sowden.
The passport office was based on Lucy from Peanuts, psychiatrist booth.
At the end of the weekend we both collected stamps in our passports from all the participating exhibitors/stall holders/publishers.
See you next time !
Join illustrator Stephen Fowler and artist Harriet Price, as they open their Rubber Stamp Passport Office for the first time.
They will be issuing an edition of 100 passports, as a means to navigate BABE and collect stamp impressions from the many bookmakers, small publishers, artists and other stallholders, who are contributing to this rubber stamp Happening. To be one of the lucky few who are issued with a passport, form an orderly queue at one of the following times.
