MICHAEL GILLETTE: DRAWN IN STEREO edited by Steve Crist and Megan Shoemaker Michael Gillette Drawn in Stereo MICHAEL GILLETTE: DRAWN IN STEREO design by Jeanette Abbink edited by Steve Crist and Megan Shoemaker Hardcover 9 x 12 inches 200 pages ISBN: USD GBP OCTOBER Distorition Whitney 2012, Amy 2011 I keep painting these as respectful tributes. The Little Angels series started not long after I moved to San Francisco. I used to read a Pepsi Out of the Blue Campaign, 2015 lot of music biographies, and in the tragic ones, I d keep flipping back to the pictures of the subject as kids, looking for clues. Watercolour Painter Man My Morning Jacket Outta My System Video Here are some still shots from the animation I made for the My Morning Jacket song Outta my System. The video was a collaboration with the live action director James Frost. We started out using an animation house with the idea that I d do key frames and they d take it from there, but fairly early on it was clear that we weren t all on the same page. They were making it in 3D- goodbye hand drawn art, hello nono. So, with about 75% of it designed, we realized that I was going to have produce all the artwork, and direct the animation. For about 24 hours the patient was comatose and it looked like we d have to pull the plug, so a scramble for an animator to make it happen. Through ace CCA tutor and oil painting genius Robert Hunt I found a super talented student- Grant Kolton. We made it together in my studio and had a riot in spite of the insane workalanche. I equate one minutes worth of animation to drinking a bath load of water with a tea spoon. Recently I received this from Jim James the singer: The video man!!! it s awesome. So fun and funny and beautiful kudos and props and congrats to you. The details are amazing and I love the nod to 2001 too!

4 NEW EDITION! ALEXANDER GIRARD by Todd Oldham & Kiera Coffee ALEXANDER GIRARD by Todd Oldham & Kiera Coffee Hardcover 16.5 x inches 672 pages ISBN: USD GBP L ETOILE 1966 At select moments in Alexander Girard s career, he strayed from his well-known colorful style. In 1966, a year after his pop color makeover of Braniff International, he designed the New York City restaurant L Etoile. A masterfully delicate accomplishment L Etoile (Star) surprised those who had only noticed Girard s color propensity in previous years. But in L Etoile s perfect lines, its well-proportioned spaces and glittering chandeliers refracting light onto mirrors, Girard s style was in strong evidence. Knowing that critics would compare his two New York restaurant designs, Girard said of L Etoile, It will be a total antithesis of La Fonda. But like La Fonda, he put his hand to every detail: he designed beautiful and numerous tables, chairs, menus, signs, matchbooks, mirrors, lights, upholsteries, carpets. He also designed an elegant font with superb physique. Renowned designer Todd Oldham and writer Kiera Coffee have created this massive monograph on seminal designer Alexander Girard as the ultimate tribute to this design icon. This 672-page book covers virtually every aspect of Girard s distinctive career. As one of the most prolific and versatile mid-20th century designers, Girard s work spanned many disciplines, including textile design, graphic design, typography, illustration, furniture design, interior design, product design, exhibit design, and architecture. Exhaustively researched and lovingly assembled by designer Todd Oldham, this tome is the definitive must-have book on Girard s oeuvre. Girard s repertoire includes an incredible list of projects, including his bold, colorful, and iconic textile designs for Herman Miller ( ), his typographic designs for La Fonda del Sol restaurant (1960), his celebrated retail store Textiles and Objects (1961), his own Girard Foundation (1962) that houses his extensive, personal collection of folk art from around the world, and his complete branding and environmental design for Braniff International Airways (1965). Girard s work continues to inspire new generations of designers and admirers, and this beautiful book is the ultimate tribute to his legacy. GIRARD S PLAYFUL PATTERNS AND BRIGHT COLORS WERE A BREATH OF FRESH AIR IN POST-WAR AMERICA. Herman Miller IT IS THE INVENTIVE IMAGINATION OF ALEXANDER GIRARD S THAT WE CONTINUOUSLY ADMIRE. Interiors ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT AMERICAN FURNITURE AND TEXTILE DESIGNERS OF THE 20TH CENTURY. Cool Hunting Somewhere along the line that person had something to say which is not communicable except through a medium such as folk art. And that s what makes it difficult to explain, because there is no standard. Of course, I think that s what makes it interesting, because you can never pigeonhole folk art as you can established forms of fine art which have already been so pigeonholed that you spend all of your time tracing the influences on it rather than considering the work itself.

10 BEST SELLER WAYNE WHITE: MAYBE NOW I LL GET THE RESPECT I SO RICHLY DESERVE mini edition by Todd Oldham WAYNE WHITE MAYBE NOW I LL GET THE RESPECT I SO RICHLY DESERVE by Todd Oldham Popular Edition Hardcover x 8.5 inches 384 pages ISBN: USD GBP NOVEMBER 2014 Design guru and art collector Todd Oldham shines the spotlight on the clever and warped world of artist Wayne White. From Wayne s early days as a production designer and puppet maker for the iconic TV show Pee-wee s Playhouse to his unmistakable and exquisitely rendered text paintings, this monograph is a comprehensive view of Wayne White s oeuvre. Wayne is a unique wordsmith, brilliantly juxtaposing irreverent and humorous phrases over existing thrift store paintings that together create a completely original and fictional landscape. Influenced by both his upbringing in rural Tennessee and a very sophisticated knowledge of art history, Wayne White s sensibility is completely singular and distinctive. Wayne White s warped and perspectival words integrate into seemingly benign pastoral landscapes, creating a completely surreal experience. Wayne s expert painting chops and detailed attention to lighting and reflection place the new text directly in its original setting. Text paintings such as Donald Judd was a Son of a Bitch Wrecked His Train in a Whorehouse Ditch, Poon, and Maybe Now I ll Get the Respect I So Richly Deserve are a welcome departure from the more-often-than-not self-aggrandizing art world. In fact, we think this sumptuous monograph is FANFUCKINTASTIC! ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING ARTISTS WORKING IN AMERICA. Esquire

11 NEW! BEST SELLER THE INSTAGRAM BOOK: INSIDE THE ONLINE PHOTOGRAPHY REVOLUTION introduction by Steve Crist edited by Megan Shoemaker THE INSTAGRAM BOOK inside the online photography revolution THE INSTAGRAM BOOK: INSIDE THE ONLINE PHOTOGRAPHY REVOLUTION introduction by Steve Crist edited by Steve Crist and Megan Shoemaker Softcover 8 x 8 inches 200 pages ISBN: USD GBP OCTOBER 2014 We re two Canadian friends that sold everything we owned, quit our jobs, bought a trailer and made a run for the border to complete our Great American Bucket List. Living for months on the road, stretching ourselves over the map, these photos have been a way to document a journey we d dreamed of taking our whole lives. Instagram has been the perfect platform for us to share our photos and whereabouts with our friends and family and it just keeps growing as more people start to follow along. Sharing our photography online has been an amazing tool for us, putting us in contact with all sorts of people on the road and helping point us in different directions on the map. Since it s just the two of us, most of our photos are taken with a tripod and timer. Early on, we started playing with the idea of parodying over-thetop tourist selfies, inspired by the landscapes and situations we found ourselves in. This series of photos has taken on a life of its own within our feed. We attempt to make each one more surreal or comedic than the next, while maintaining a consistency in the posing and composition of each frame. Our Wild Abandon is about choosing to live with a different perspective and committing to a path or an idea that s going to better your life. It s about not being complacent, not letting yourself get steered off that path you ve set, and being hyper aware of the beauty in the people, places and situations you find yourself in and around. We hope that our photos inspire people to chase adventure in a similar way. Whether that means taking a sick day to play tourist in your own town, or heading off on an open ended journey. My name is Omid Scheybani, and I m a Germany-born Iranian. I m in my mid-twenties now. I ve lived in Spain, Ireland, and Argentina, before I ended up in San Francisco three years ago to work in the tech industry. If I m not traveling for personal reasons (and I find a lot of reasons to do so), I go to Latin America a lot for work. Initially, my true passion was film, and some of my productions were even featured in national and international film festivals. It wasn t until I bought my first smartphone that my photographic creativity was unleashed. The release of Instagram was the key event that got me engaged with instant photography. I don t own a professional camera; I take all my shots with my phone (iphone 5c currently). My experiences around the world have greatly shaped the perspective I have on life, which, in turn, influences my photographic eye. The German in me is constantly on the search for symmetry, while my exposure to Latin American cultures has made me appreciate humans as a subject matter in my photos. This picture was taken in Chelsea, New York City. I was on my way to work on a Tuesday morning when I came across this mural. I wanted to take a picture because I really liked the white writing on the red bricks. Ready to shoot, I noticed this mailman approaching from the left. Normally I let people pass by, but I had this artistic picture in my mind of the worker walking through the shot and that s exactly how the picture turned out. omid california, USA kyla and jill ourwildabandon california, USA 56 I am a photographer from the Netherlands. While I have been taking photos for years, my love for mobile photography started two years ago. Because my iphone is always in my pocket, it is the best camera around in most occasions. This particular photo was made during a trip to Ghent, Belgium. I love candid and street photography, but I don t tend to do it myself. It doesn t feel right to share photos of people who have no clue they are being photographed. This scene unfolded right before my eyes, and I couldn t help myself. So I got out my iphone and took a photo. I would have asked if they minded me sharing the photo, but they were still asleep when I got off the train. eelco zuid-holland, NETHERLANDS Not since Edwin Land invented the Polaroid camera has image making become so revolutionized. Instagram has taken today s phenomenon of instant photography and social media to a new zenith, enabling amateurs and auteurs alike to share their images with a global audience. From the ubiquitous selfie to urban life and the beauty of nature, Instagram has provided a forum for posting and viewing a seemingly endless archive of images from our time. From tweens to retirees, would-be and actual photographers are creating their own images and following countless others, creating an online community that is visually inspired. Since the origin of modern photography, artists of all kinds have sought to share their images within their personal networks of friends and family. Today, with the advent of the Internet and subsequent explosion of online photo sharing, photographers have an audience which is exponentially larger than that of just a few years ago. Photography as a medium has been revolutionized, with high-quality cameras built into smartphones, advanced editing software readily accessible, and online social media sites providing a platform for sharing and delivery. THE INSTAGRAM BOOK explores this rapidly expanding movement of social media photography in a stunning collection of images from photographers around the world who post their pictures on the popular app, Instagram. Curated from the software s millions of users, THE INSTAGRAM BOOK explores a small spectrum of photographers both professional and amateur alike who contribute to this groundbreaking online community.

12 BEST SELLER EAMES: BEAUTIFUL DETAILS popular edition by Charles and Ray Eames edited by Gloria Fowler and Steve Crist furniture +objects what works good is better than what looks good, because what works good lasts ray eames EAMES: BEAUTIFUL DETAILS introduction by Eames Demetrios edited by Gloria Fowler and Steve Crist Popular Edition Hardcover With Slipcase 11.8 x 8.4 inches 408 pages ISBN: USD GBP SEPTEMBER 2014 Renowned designers Charles and Ray Eames are among the greatest designers of the 20th century. They are, of course, most well known for their groundbreaking and iconic furniture designs, but they also created important, creative, experimental, and beautiful work in the areas of architecture, exhibit design, textile design, product design, graphic design, toy design, film, and photography. The Eameses distinctly postwar American enthusiasm and openness to the world around them gave them free license to explore work in many disciplines. This book celebrates the seamlessness and fluidity in which they operated as both a husband-and-wife team and as designers unrestricted by traditionally professional boundaries. They brought a sense of innocence and playfulness to the design process, as well as a tremendous love and discipline in all they created in many different fields and mediums. Augmenting the abundant visual images, Eames Demetrios Charles s grandson and the director of the Eames Office has written chapter essays and an insightful introduction. It is a testament to the Eameses and the lasting value of good design that their Eames lounge chair, created in 1956, endures today as perhaps the most recognizable and coveted piece of mid-century furniture design. Their experiments in technological innovations, like molded plywood and fiberglass, resulted in such classic pieces as the bent plywood LCW and DCM Chairs, the Molded Plastic Chairs, and the Aluminum Group; all of which are still in production by Herman Miller. Likewise, Charles and Ray designed and built their own home in 1949 in Pacific Palisades, and it is still revered as a landmark of modern architecture. Built as part of the Case Study program in California, sponsored by Arts & Architecture magazine, it was one of the earliest experiments in pre-fab construction, using off-the-shelf industrial parts. But unlike the austerity of much of modern architectural design, their factory-like shell was lovingly lived in along with their personal collections of folk art, treasures from their travels, and everyday objects refreshingly displayed with affection and without pretense. To this day this beloved space feels at once both humble and grand one that celebrates the ideals of modernism, including the pleasure of indoor-outdoor living, but at the same time lives on as a very personal space and tribute to its original inhabitants. In exhibition design as well, Mathematica: A World of Numbers... and Beyond, 1961, for IBM is considered groundbreaking as an interactive, educational, and experiential way to communicate the wonder and magic of math. Similarly, their seminal film, Powers of Ten, 1977, expresses the mathematical concept of multiplying to the tenth power, in a very direct, simple, and powerful way. Unlike any other book published on the Eameses before, this unique and sumptuous monograph is a visual celebration of their work and life and is destined to become a collector s item. The packaging design of the slipcase is a pattern inspired by the triangles and colors of one of their most inventive, if lesser-known, designs for children, simply called, the toy. It also pays homage to the patterns they used on their wellloved House of Cards. The Eameses brought a sense of humor and joy to everything they created, and the design and layout of the book aims to convey that spirit in a visual feast for the eyes. Select details of their life and work, from their refined designs to their innovative experiments, and even including images depicting the everyday poetic moments of their lives, are shared here in this exhibit within a book. Inspired by Charles s immersive and original slideshows, in which he expertly selected and grouped images together that communicated information in an aesthetic, direct, and accessible way, this book strives to visually create the Eameses life and work by taking the viewer through a delightful journey, focusing on their beautiful details.

13 BEST SELLER CHASING EPIC: THE SNOWBOARD PHOTOGRAPHS OF JEFF CURTES by Jeff Curtes introduction by Jake Burton edited by Steve Crist and Megan Shoemaker CHASING EPIC: THE SNOWBOARD PHOTOGRAPHS OF JEFF CURTES by Jeff Curtes introduction by Jake Burton edited by Steve Crist and Megan Shoemaker Hardcover 11.5 x 15.5 inches 96 pages ISBN: USD GBP OCTOBER 2014 the snowboard photographs of JEFF CURTES Snowboarding as a winter sport has exploded in popularity in the last 25 years. One of the most prolific and talented photographers of this extreme sport is Jeff Curtes. CHASING EPIC: THE SNOWBOARD PHOTOGRAPHS OF JEFF CURTES is not only the ultimate document of snowboarding but an impressive artistic achievement as well. Curtes s camera juxtaposes the best snowboarders of our time, including Shaun White and many others, across impossibly beautiful, majestic, and insane mountainsides. His compositions emphasize the lone individual soaring across aweinspiring landscapes in an almost surreal and sometimes abstract figure/ground/sky relationship. Curtes s images capture the skill, courage, and freedom that these athletes possess in their pursuit of the perfect ride. Jeff Curtes has been at the forefront of the snowboarding industry s imagery since his first published work back in In 1994, Curtes signed with Burton Snowboards and had been their principal photographer until 2012, nearly 20 years behind the lens on the snow. Jeff s work with Burton, originating with action-centric images, was unique in that it came from within the core snowboarder s lifestyle. He was living and breathing snowboarding with his brother, Joe Curtes, as they traveled from the Midwest to the Mountains of the West Coast. Burton allowed Curtes to travel the world in search of the epic conditions that every snowboarder dreams of, and, in return, Curtes s camera delivered an overwhelming collection of photographs to their light table.these images not only made incredible advertising and catalog content but also defined a subculture and captured the early history of snowboarding like no others before.

BEST SELLER DISTANT SHORES: SURFING THE ENDS OF THE EARTH by Chris Burkard edited by Steve Crist DISTANT SHORES: SURFING THE ENDS OF THE EARTH by Chris Burkard edited by Steve Crist Hardcover 11.5 x 15.5 inches 160 pages ISBN: USD GBP Chris Burkard s photographs are punctuated by energized landscapes and moments of bliss, by adventure seeking and the lifestyle that it encompasses, and by movement and intuitive light-working capabilities. With the ocean as his main muse, Burkard has consistently captured this subject in timeless and expansive photographic impressions, utilizing the tool of surfing to approach the ocean s intricate personality and then extending out to include the human personalities that draw meaning from this same source. Searching for wild, remote destinations and offbeat landscapes, Burkard portrays the humble placement of the human in contrast to nature within DISTANT SHORES: SURFING THE ENDS OF THE EARTH. At just 26 years of age, Burkard has spent the last eight years seeking out remote surf in the most rugged conditions in the world, and in the process, has established himself as a major photographer in the surf and outdoor community. Presently, Burkard serves as senior staff photographer for Surfer magazine and contributes regularly to various international publications and companies such as Patagonia. Burkard has completed two book projects, one with friend and co-author Eric Soderquist titled, The California Surf Project (2006), and the other, Plight of the Torpedo People, accompanying Patagonia body surfing film, Come Hell or High Water (2012). Burkard is a native Californian whose photographs have appeared in countless magazines and advertising campaigns. He lives on the central coast of California and travels extensively.

15 BEST SELLER STRANGE STORIES: THE PHOTOGRAPHY OF GERALD DAVIS by Todd Oldham STRANGE STORIES: THE PHOTOGRAPHY OF GERALD DAVIS by Todd Oldham Hardcover 11.5 x 15.5 inches 96 pages ISBN: USD GBP GBP OCTOBER 2014 Palm Beach society, celebrities, nudist colonies, politicians, bald-headed men s conventions, natural disasters, and even the world s fattest cat were all captured through the elegant and clever lens of photographer Gerry Davis. Born in New York City in 1941, Davis grew up in a working-class family in the Bronx. He spent his career as a photojournalist and worked for numerous European and U.S. magazines. In 1978 he became the photo editor for The National Enquirer, which led to many bizarre assignments, including photographing Elvis in his casket. Davis produced a prolific body of work that is at once weird and wonderful. As a resident of Palm Beach, Davis had access to the eccentric and rarefied world of its wealthy residents. Many of his images evoke the glamour and irony of its subjects, such as a sequined and fur-draped socialite posing languidly with her cat underneath a massive chandelier and frescoed ceiling. Davis gets the shot with the cat s teeth digging in its owner s hand. Todd Oldham discovered these STRANGE STORIES and knew they needed to be compiled into this lovely and humorous look at our society through the lens of an unassuming and devoted photographer. This secret treasure trove of images that range from Elizabeth Taylor to the waterskiing squirrel and dirty crime in the mean streets of Miami is sure to surprise and delight its viewers. PALM BEACH SOCIETY, NUDIST COLONIES, AND SO MUCH MORE!

16 NEW! LOCALS ONLY popular edition by Hugh Holland, edited by Steve Crist LOCALS ONLY by Hugh Holland Popular Edition Hardcover 8 x 11 inches 84 pages ISBN: USD GBP One afternoon in 1975, a young photographer named Hugh Holland drove up Laurel Canyon Boulevard in Los Angeles and encountered skateboarders carving up the drainage ditches along the side of the canyon. Immediately transfixed by their grace and athleticism, he knew he had found an amazing subject. Although not a skateboarder himself, for the next three years Holland never tired of documenting skateboarders surfing the streets of Los Angeles, parts of the San Fernando Valley, Venice Beach, and as far away as San Francisco and Baja California, Mexico. During the mid-1970s, Southern California was experiencing a serious drought, leaving an abundance of empty swimming pools available for trespassing skateboarders to practice their tricks. From these suburban backyard haunts to the asphalt streets that connected them, this was the place that created the legendary Dogtown and Z-Boys skateboarders. With their requisite bleached blonde hair, tanned bodies, tube socks and Vans, these young outsiders are masterfully captured against a sometimes harsh but always sunny Southern California landscape in LOCALS ONLY. Holland s skateboard photographs were first shown at M+B Gallery in Los Angeles in Following the success of the show, his work has been shown in Paris and New York City and used in American Apparel publicity campaigns. Holland resides in Los Angeles. SKATEBOARDS, SWEATBANDS, STREETWEAR AND OTHER RELICS OF THE 70S ARE PERFECTLY PRESERVED IN HOLLAND S ACTION SHOTS OF RAIL RIDING TEENS. Time Out New York

17 BEST SELLER MOMENTARY by Sage Vaughn edited by Steve Crist and Megan Shoemaker MOMENTARY by Sage Vaughn edited by Steve Crist and Megan Shoemaker Hardcover 10 x 10 inches 72 pages ISBN: USD GBP The momentary beauty of Sage Vaughn s butterflies is palpable. These impossibly lovely, delicate creatures appear to have magically landed or violently crashed, oozing their colorful pigment like blood-stained marks across the canvas. The dichotomy of these delicate and ephemeral creatures co-existing over images of gritty urban life creates a contrast that is layered, mysterious, and up for interpretation. Vaughn s butterflies appear as choreographed naturet their drips echoing his early beginnings as a graffiti artist. Sometimes juxtaposed against the likes of mundane interiors, forests, or the Russian punk band Pussy Riot, Vaughn s distinctive paintings create provocative relationships between the built and natural environment. The effect is dreamlike and almost hypnotic, as swarms of butterflies concurrently live and die in graceful formations that are at once heartbreakingly beautiful and sublimely melancholy. Sage Vaughn is an LA-based painter and illustrator who is best recognized for his wildlife series. Moustachioed, eccentric, and consistent, Vaughn works in his studio from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and has been quoted as an artist with a blue-collar work ethic. As a child, Vaughn and his father, who was also a painter, would spend hours on end at the LA Zoo sketching animals all day. As a teenager, growing up in the San Fernando Valley in the late 70s and early 80s, Vaughn was greatly influenced by the punk movement and graffiti art. Vaughn s current Wildlives paintings focus on the juxtaposition and coexistence of humans and animals, drawing comparisons between their inherent liberty, freedom, and survival skills. He has had widely acclaimed solo shows in New York, Geneva, and London and has been featured in a group show at MOCA in LA, curated by the Beastie Boys Mike D.

18 BEST SELLER RALPH STEADMAN: PROUD TO BE WEIRRD by Ralph Steadman edited by Steve Crist OK. Advise me if you think I don t quite get it. My mind hovers somewhere above the truth, and we tend to reject the WEIRRD because it cannot possibly have anything to do with sense or truth. But whenever I ponder the appearance of a miasma of lines or a chance arrangement of collage arranged in no planned or particular way, it seems to want me to listen to its message whatever that may be. I want to listen, but logic stands in its way and I forbid my imagination to take that route. I am not trying to be a smart-ass. Curiosity pulls me towards the ridiculous, and I let it take me for a while before I pull myself together, as it were, and drag my mind back to the sensible the logical to the way we are supposed to think as reasonable human beings. But reasonable human beings are those types who love control and conspire to find jobs where they can exercise those powers of authority that make them look big and important. Their sickly view of others is reflected in what they choose to leave out of their organ of choice. Their disgust for freedom is an indictment of their own shortcomings. Their imagination is trapped in an inability to let go and enjoy a sensation of flying weightless with wings and odd bits that they never ever dreamed they had. Creativity is both a joy and a disease. Disease is perhaps too strong a word. Let s say that one is infected with creative thought and then is brave enough upon it. toact THE BOOK of CLEVER BASTARDS. A personal view RALPH STEADMAN: PROUD TOO BE WEIRRD by Ralph Steadman edited by Steve Crist Standard Edition Hardcover 11 x 15 inches 448 pages ISBN: USD GBP It has often been said to me, by very perceptive and intelligent people, Ooh! You re lucky! You stroll across to the studio every morning, carrying no more than a cup of coffee. You open up, look around, put your coffee down, sit down, pick up a pen and scribble a few lines on a piece of paper and bingo! Your day is done. It just comes naturally to you, you lucky bastard! Not true. Firstly, I don t drink coffee, and secondly, I am not a bastard, as far as I know. And anyway, I don t go straight to the studio. There s next door s filthy white pigeons to deal with first, who persistently try to establish another dovecote on the kitchen alcove over our heads, bringing sticks, cooing smugly, dropping shitloads of guano and laying eggs. So I have devised a new use for rubber wine corks. I cut them in half, and with the help of a high velocity slingshot catapult I attack these broody, flying rats with great intensity. The corks don t kill them, but they do deliver a hefty, feather-ruffling thwack to their evil whiteness, which sends them flapping frantically back from whence they came. Then I walk over to the studio and open up, but I still don t sit down. I stand and look around nervously. I notice the damp stain getting bigger in the corner of the white ceiling. RALPH STEADMAN: PROUD TOO BE WEIRRD by Ralph Steadman edited by Steve Crist Limited Edition Numbered and Signed Hardcover With Exclusive Print by Ralph Steadman 11 x 15 inches 448 pages ISBN: USD GBP My eyes scan the rest of the room, and I know that it is time I vacuumed the cobwebs out of corners. Half-finished, or impossible projects that are not working out lie about in a sad and hazardous array. I scuttle through to the small room I use for an office and switch on the computer. Then I remember I had promised to sign someone s book. I start that and think of something else I should have done last week. I make other excuses to avoid sitting down at my drawing table and confronting a piece of paper, particularly if it is white and blank. There is no dialogue yet between me and it, and I must make some kind of mark on the virgin surface in the hope that it speaks to me. That is generally how days begin. Iconoclastic British artist Ralph Steadman has been creating editorial and political illustrations for over five decades. Steadman is revered for his ink-splattered, anarchic, and often shocking drawings. His well-known illustrations alongside the work of literary legend Hunter S. Thompson have long been celebrated and have achieved a cult-like following. Together, Steadman and Thompson s iconic work has come to be known as Gonzo journalism. Ralph and Hunter first met in 1970 on an assignment from Scanlan s Monthly magazine to cover the Kentucky Derby. Their 40-year friendship included collaborations on seminal books such as Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and The Curse of Lono, as well as numerous articles for Jann Wenner s Rolling Stone, including the George Foreman vs. Muhammad Ali fight and coverage of the Watergate Scandals. PROUD TOO BE WEIRRD is the ultimate monograph of this creative genius. Steadman s first-person narrative takes us on a literary and visual journey of his well-known, provocative work and is accompanied by his acerbic wit, heartfelt political views, and unique sense of humor. This must-have book comes in two collectible editions. All one thousand, limited edition books are numbered and signed by Steadman, and each comes with an exclusive print. Steadman is the recipient of numerous awards and accolades for his illustrations in classic books such as Alice in Wonderland, Treasure Island, Animal Farm, and Fahrenheit 451. His revered work has appeared in numerous publications throughout the years including Rolling Stone, The Daily Telegraph, and The New York Times. This year, a documentary film on Steadman, narrated by Johnny Depp, will be released by Sony Pictures. Fifteen years in the making, the film For No Good Reason highlights the many reasons to admire this one-of-a-kind artist. Likewise, PROUD TOO BE WEIRRD celebrates the profound creative genius of Ralph Steadman. THE MOST GIFTED AND EFFECTIVE EXISTENTIAL ARTIST OF MY TIME. Kurt Vonnegut RALPH IS... SO NICE.

20 My beautiful sister Joie Lee. The Love and Hate sermon comes from one of my favorite films, Night of the Hunter, written by James Agee. I m often asked what my favorite film is that I ve directed. I don t have one specifically, but Do The Right Thing is on the list. After She s Gotta Have It (1986) and School Daze (1988), I knew the title of my third film. I didn t find it strange that I knew it would be titled Do The Right Thing but had no sense of what the story would be. Start with that and build. Since the August 1989 release of the film, if I had a dollar for every time somebody came up to me and yelled, Hey Spike, do the right thing, I would have been able to finance several of my films. Working on this book, reading the fine oral history has been a joy. I remember things I had forgotten and learned things I didn t know. Do The Right Thing grows in stature every year. Colleges and universities have a course on it, which, to me, is maybe its greatest achievement. The film is being taught to new generations of people every semester young students who were not even born when the film came out. And it s not just confined to film schools. It is our hope that you will continue to enjoy Do The Right Thing, which still holds up strong after all these years. The reason for that is the hardworking, talented and dedicated people in front of and behind the camera. Our mission was to make a bold film, not just with the subject matter, but also in how it looked, how it sounded, and the quality that one puts into this art form/craft we call cinema. We set out with what we intended to do, and did it. That s what I call a winner.

INTRODUCTION BY SPIKE LEE Celebrating 25 years since its seminal debut, Do The Right Thing remains one of the most important and controversial films of its era. Employing director Spike Lee s hometown of Brooklyn as the essential setting, this explosive film masterfully explores race and class relationships. Both a critical and popular success, Do The Right Thing became a landmark film that brought serious issues in the African American community to light and established Lee as a major director in American cinema. Lee also wrote the screenplay, produced, and even starred in this deeply personal film, which was applauded for its commanding visuals provided by cinematographer Ernest Dickerson, intense performances by Danny Aiello and John Turturro, and an assertive soundtrack featuring Public Enemy s Fight the Power. 6 Including an unprecedented insider s look at the film, with behind-the-scenes visuals and interviews, this impressive book celebrates the impact of Do The Right Thing on our culture throughout the years. The film is even credited with bringing President Barack Obama and the First Lady together on their first date! Dorothea Lange Lee and his film company, 40 Acres and a Mule, continue to shine the light on controversial subjects through awardwinning feature films and documentaries. Lee is also the artistic director of the graduate film program at New York University s Tisch School of the Arts....
