Books

Because of the costs involved in large scale print runs, major publishing companies are reticent to take on any books that they don’t believe have immediate markets of at least 20,000 readers.

The availability of smaller print runs with the same high quality papers and inks make it possible for artists and authors to reach their market audience no matter how big or small that may be. PolyMarket Press exists to facilitate that outreach.

Most recently through PolyMarket Press, August 2011 saw the release of interloper-the art nudes and photo-paintings of Ricardo Acevedo. His photography is luminous, with a distinctly edgy feel. Ricardo’s intimate peeks at beautiful models are only the start–his editing with photoshop adds all sorts of color, texture and form to many of the shots without ever become overworked.

If you like vintage pinups or film noir, take a look at his fresh versions of each!

The very first book released by PolyMarket Press was in 2006  titled Adapting Quilt Patterns To Polymer Clay by Judith Skinner and Sarajane Helm.

This was followed in 2009 by a compilation of 30 columns from Belle Armoire magazine concerning The Business Of Professional Art into a book by the same title by Sarajane Helm.

December 2010 was the release date for A Collection Of Polymer Clay Masks by Sarajane Helm, featuring the work of 150 artists. Some as small as an inch across, some large enough to wear–all are unified by the theme of masks and the use of polymer clay.

Coming up in 2013 will be a new edition with hundreds of additional masks that have been collected by the editor.
