The book includes an essay about the collaborative experience. Half of the collages are posted on <a href=\"http:\/\/misterkoppa.com\/2014-monsters-i\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HERE<\/a>, and the other half <a href=\"http:\/\/misterkoppa.com\/2014-monsters-ii\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HERE<\/a>. Publisher Mister Koppa said, &#8220;<em>Monster Trust<\/em> is the end result of a project that began with a simple request to participate in a collage collaboration with Zach Collins (St. Paul, Minnesota). At the time, it seemed all the rage; every day I saw a new collaborative effort between Mr Collins and some other collagist in my Facebook feed. I was anxious to join the party.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ric Kasini Kadour reviewed the book in <em>Kolaj<\/em> #12.<\/p>\n<p>Kadour wrote in his review:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h2>\u201cFor Koppa, this was a transformational act of faith in others to follow through: monster trust\u2026Without being pedantic, <em>Monster Trust<\/em> reads like a testimony to the collaborative ethic that permeates collage culture today. Koppa shares his fears and experience and the results of his foray into these types of creative relationships.\u201d<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/content\/collage-books\/artist-book-review-monster-trust\/\">See more of this review<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kolajmagazine.com\/shop.html\">PURCHASE KOLAJ #12<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>ABOUT THE BOOK<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Monster Trust: Collaborative Collage in the Early Twenty-teens<\/em><br \/>\nby Zach Collins, Mister Koppa, Nikki Soppelsa, Susan Ringler, Kat Silver, Cory Peeke, Laura Collins, Travis Medford, Jesse Treece, and Tracy Jager.<br \/>\n6.625\u201dx5.125\u201d, 40 pages<br \/>\nfull colour on acid free coated 80 lb. text weight paper<br \/>\nEdition of 26, signed and lettered (A-Z)<br \/>\n$26.00 USD<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/heavydutypress.com\/monster-trust\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Heavy Duty Press<\/a>, Viroqua, Wisconsin, 2015<\/p>\n<p>Purchase the book <a href=\"http:\/\/www.viroquacreative.com\/product\/monster-trust\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HERE<\/a>.
