wow... ew... boing... Zine by Childish Books
“This unique artist book both documents the collaborative play-making of 11 children and invites you to join in the fun. The piece grew out of a workshop at Storm Bookstore lead by Anna Pinkas and Nour Sabbagh. Children were invited to explore the relationship between auditory and visual representation by stamping out artistic responses to the word-sounds ‘wow’, ‘ew’, and ‘boing’! ‘Wow... Ew... Boing...’ documents a taste of their brilliant collective art, while guiding readers of all ages to try this playful activity for themselves!
Take inspiration from the Risograph reproductions of the children's work and then use the blank pages and dicut foam shapes to stamp out your own responses.“ - Childish Books

Julia Epifania Basnage (she/her) is a visual artist and recent graduate of Barnard College in New York City who currently works out of the California Bay Area. Her work is primarily in relief and silkscreen printmaking, or any process where she can appreciate the tactile experience of the process; carving linoleum, pulling squeegees, and cutting paper are just as beloved aspects of her art as the final product, and she believes that no level or form of art should be divorced from play.
Childish Books (Cb) seeks to collect, celebrate, and create artist books and zine projects which could be enjoyed by a 'child audience', however defined. They care about making zine culture more available to children, and making the art and ideas of children more available in zine culture. Through interviews, reviews, publishing, and gatherings, they hope to generate a deeply playful readership and community. Follow them on social media at @childish.books.
