Tourist Book Report #36- Since 1994, Sean Tejaratchi has been publishing Crap Hound. Each 8.5” x 11” saddle stitched issue is over 88 pages in length- so they’re real thick, and have a depth of about 1/4”. Furthermore, they’re offset printed and have a thick cover so the production value is very high (and the issues themselves are very durable). Each issue centers around a visual theme (like ‘superstition’, ‘clowns, devils & bait’, and ‘hands, hearts & eyes’) and is jammed packed with high-contrast imagery taken from vintage catalogs, advertising, obscure books, and found ephemera. Each page is art piece in and of itself- rammed with incredible iconography which is like a best-of-the-best form of alternative clip art. If you’re a designer, a tattooer (or someone just looking for inspiration for a future tattoo), into making collages, a painter always in search of new reference material or in a band and tasked with making merch then we highly recommend Crap Hound (since the imagery can be easily scanned, traced or enlarged with a photocopier).
