Crap Hound #8
Crap Hound # 8
Between a brief introduction and the end credits, Crap Hound is pure imagery. Each page is filled with high-contrast art, carefully taken from vintage catalogs, advertising, obscure books, and found ephemera. Through sheer volume of artfully arranged iconography, Issue No. 8 visually explores popular meaning, cultural ideals and historic symbolism of superstitions; from the obvious to the obscure. Black cats, butterflies, brooms, apples, locks, moons, hats, knives, bibles, tea, gifts, candles, keys, and much, much, much more.
Debuting in 1994, Crap Hound became a favorite of both zine readers and publishers, and has received enthusiastic reviews from sources including The New York Times Magazine, RE/Search Books, the American Institute Graphic Arts, and the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum.
