“Not quite an AE” Index

  • Updated

Reduced size, foreign, portfolios.

Welcome to the former Reduced Size Artist’s Edition Format and Portfolio Index. This page is a companion to our main Index, focusing on portfolios, and books printing original art at a size smaller than the original art it presents. Foreign language books will also be included here since I can’t determine the original art size for most.

Consider this a work in progress that, most likely, will never be a complete listing.
