20 Pages in a Fortnight

doing it late...


i'm late... i had a virus, its the holidays, my dog ate my homework.... one of those. Anyway there are another 20 pages here

we are at the point (its a long scroll through the old pages to the new pages) where a navigational click to the page type aid is required. A stern memo has been written to the lads in the dead xerox press R&D bunker. They love memo's, makes them feel they are alive. Like someone notices.

Another 20 pages up in a fortnight (yawn).

'Midnight Morning' Art Book Launch - 17.07.08

'Midnight Morning' Art Book Launch - 17.07.08




I’m proud to finally announce the launch of Midnight Morning, a limited and handcrafted publication showcasing a new and never-before-seen illustration series that I’ve developed alongside some of my favourite artists, Haline Ly and Will Loeng.

THE LAUNCH
Midnight Morning will be launched with a concurrent show atRococo Productions’ warehouse exhibition space. For one night only, original artwork from the book will be displayed and will be available for sale alongside a selection of other new artwork, books and prints from the artists. All three artists will be in attendance on the night to meet fans, discuss their work and sign editions of the book.

THE BOOK

I’m very excited to show everyone this book, we’ve tried to make something really special and it’s easily my most well-presented work -

Hand-pressed dust-jacket cover
15 hand-bound mini-posters
280x280mm
325 gsm Brilliant Vellum stock

PRE-ORDER RESERVATIONS

Because of the limited and time-consuming nature of these books, we’re taking pre-orders to make sure everyone can reserve their copy.

Each pre-order receives Microscopium, booklet documenting the making of the series and featuring new artwork alongside, development sketches and insights from the artists. The first 30 pre-orders will also receive a copy of KLEFT design magazine, which explores the inspirations behind a range of designers’ works.

MORE

Please visit our website for more info and previews.
We also have a blog updating with behind-the-scenes tidbits every day.

I hope to see you there!
