Prehensile Pencil artists collaborating on Feral Press booklets and Poets' Farthing Cards work as interpreters of literary texts. Their black and white expressions use a variety of media: pencil and ink drawing, collage, charcoal and photography. While they are “on assignment” from the press, they are free to approach the text in style and form as improvisers rather than illustrators.
PPP is always interested in taking on new artists who work in black and white. Artists who submit should be conscious of using archival materials, for the press is constantly seeking galleries, libraries and other exhibition venues so that their work can gain further exposure.
