Trenton Doyle Hancock: Mind of the Mound: Critical Mass

 

for MASS MoCA

 

Trenton Doyle Hancock has transformed his childhood love of comic books, toys, and superhero culture into his own creation myth. I used his self-portrait on the front and back of the dust jacket and a removable cloth patch fills in the die-cut. The two-colon title was a mouthful so I was happy that curator Denise Markonish and Trenton allowed me to break it up from front cover to back. Trenton also created a special-edition zine that’s sewn in to the middle of the book. 8 x 10 inches, 240 pages.
