Behold by James Brown 2 colour screen print by James Brown. 

30 x 42cm, colourplan natural 270gsm paper, open edition signed and dated.

James Brown is an illustrator and printmaker living and working in London. Trained as a textile and surface print designer, he worked in the clothing industry for 10 years producing print designs for numerous brands from Levis to Louis Vuitton. After two years at Hope & Glory menswear he embarked on a new career as an illustrator in 2007.

Brown has been commissioned to produce work by publishing houses, magazines and newspapers as well as advertising and design agencies. Recent clients include Oxfam, Cancer Research, The Guardian and Faber & Faber. Alongside his commercial practice he produces limited edition screen prints and linocuts. The prints reflect his interest in the printed and typographic ephemera of pop culture contrasted with the high production values and processes, which create the final product.

Conductors of the Moving World by Brad Zellar

 Conductors of the Moving World is a really beautiful new book from Alec Soth's Littlebrownmushroom imprint.

 Made by hand in an edition of just 500 I would have recommended you rush out and buy one, unfortunately it sold out yesterday. Good news for the Japanese Tsunami relief (which is where all the proceeds are going) but bad news for tardy book collectors!

 Like the earlier Bedknobs and Boomsticks by Trent Parke this will no doubt be turning up on Amazon with a vastly inflated price before long.

In the autumn of 1972, a delegation of Japanese police officials visited the United States to study traffic control in several large cities, including New York, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles. The unofficial photographer for the delegation was Eizo Ota, an inspector with the law enforcement department of the Yamanashi Prefecture, and he produced a record of the group’s travels that might best be described as forensic tourism.

Using Inspector Ota’s snapshots as launching points, Brad Zellar plundered traffic manuals, haiku anthologies, the Watergate transcripts, and The Godfather for textual inspiration. The mysterious result is a Zen travelogue through 1972 America.

From a collection of 60 C-Prints, a mix-and-match assortment of 17 will be hand-tipped into individual volumes, making each book a singular work of art.

Forest of Dreams book sculpture

 Forest of Dreams is another of my papercuts, it is a commissioned piece so will not be in my summer exhibition, but I will hopefully be putting together a short book where this will be included.

 Looks very nice in it's display cabinet. The lady who commissioned it had seen my Christmas window and  wanted something similar, this is a bit more realistic size for a domestic house, the other one was rather large.
I now have some cards with these images available for purchase here and here.
