Memories Book

This week is the launch of the Memories Book...
This beautifully illustrated book looks at the thoughts and experiences of individuals who have survived cancer, as well as those of people who have lost loved ones. Inside the book there is 10 stories, each looking at one person’s memories of a particular day or period of time when struggling against cancer, and each written story has 12 illustrated reponses from artists, designers and illustrator. I was asked to contribute an illustration for a piece titled 'After the Storm'. The project is being launched by Designers Against Human Rights Abuse (DAHRA), Subism, OneTenEleven Media and editor Garrick Webster, and many writers and 144 imagemakers from all over the world contributed to this book.

To order your copy, go to this website: http://subism.co.uk/checkout/books/the-memories-book/ 

The book is priced at £10 + P&P
All proceeds from the sales of Memories goes to the charity Maggie’s Cancer Caring Centres

'Brave Old World' book in the shops

A new book by Tom Hodgkinson, published by Hamish Hamilton, on the 7th July, available in all good book shops

This is what they say about the book...
"Drawing on the wisdom of an eclectic range of thinkers and writers, on medieval calendars and manorial records, and, as ever, on Tom's own honestly recounted and frequently imperfect attempts to travel the road to self-sufficiency, "Brave Old World" is designed to give us all hope. Why, he asks, shouldn't we return to the ideals of a pre-capitalist, pre-Puritan, pre-consumerist world of feasting, dancing, horse-riding, wood-chopping, fire-laying, poultry-rearing, bartering, bread-baking and bee-keeping? From January to December, "Brave Old World" charts the progress of a year in pursuit of the pleasures of the past, taking seriously - though not without much incidental comedy - G.K. Chesterton's exhortation, 'We must go back to freedom or forward to slavery'."

We've spent the last few months working on the book cover designs, and interior typsetting and illustrations.

Many thanks to Fergus and all at Chethams library in Manchester for letting me thumb through their ancient collection of Book of Hour's, and an afternoon of great banter, that set the scene for the design of this book. 

There's a book launch this Thursday 7th, all welcome, the tickets are available here: http://idler.co.uk/academy/events/event/brave-old-world-book-launch/ and you'll recieve a signed copy of the book, and wine will be flowing through the evening.
