From impossibly cute illustrative and graphic titles from London’s amazing (and amazingly prolific) Nobrow Press to stunning, locally published fine-art monographs of Melbourne’s Benjamin Armstrong and Nicholas Mangan, today we’ve selected a bunch of art and illustration titles for your perusing pleasure.
Ben Newman – Ourobros
Lovely stuff from Ben Newman, one of the central artists contributing to Nobrow’s burgeoning success.
Benjamin Armstrong – Holding a Thread
In recent years, Benjamin Armstrong has established himself as one of contemporary Australian art's finest. Comprising his alien glass sculptures, stunning painting practice and working methodology, this wonderfully produced volume is an equally beautiful and important document of a young artist at the height of his powers. Holding a Thread comes courtesy of small Sydney publishing house Emblem.
Nicholas Mangan – Notes From a Cretaceous World
Jack Teagle – Jeff Job Hunter
Carol Lee Mei-kuen – Threads of Luminosity
Ben Newman and Scott Donaldson – The Bento Bestiary
More Nobrow magic! Good, even if a little scary, for the kids.
A stunning little book from Jon McNaught and Nobrow. This is everything a illustrated book should be.
