Synopsis: But They Don't Blink is the second handmade book edition from Visitor/Chris Habib. It is a book about walls and what transpires when society's back is pressed against them. Each volume is a stanza, and each page a line of text and a graphic--handpainted in two colors atop a sheet of "wallpaper". The three volumes of the story provide satirical commentary in rhyme on the state of America's violent fall from prosperity. Volume 1 addresses the hardships facing families in an uncertain job market. Volume 2 targets the decaying social safety net. Volume 3 posits violent revolutionary action as a solution to the effects of putrifying power.

A volume of But They Don't Blink consists of 5 individually hand-painted posters, a block-printed mylar cover and a removable, screw-bound, plastic and cardboard spine. The folios are each signed, numbered and rolled into hand-printed kraft paper blueprint bags.
