States United is a small format publication by multimedia artist and founder of One Page Productions, Woody Leslie. The book contains humorous combinations of states’ names, printed in black ink through a letterpress process. Simple in its design, the publisher’s cheekiness shines through as the state name amalgams swing from subtle to downright bizarre.
Woody Leslie works out of Chicago, where his publishing entity One Page Productions has been acquired by Large Home Tiny Idea, another Chicago-based publisher. Leslie’s wheelhouse of book arts investigates theoretical and physical design problems; he renders objects from his own experience of these fields of knowledge, memories, and personal/public perspectives.
