pic from BRLSQ

The third book in an ongoing series from the seminal West Coast art and culture magazine, Juxtapoz Poster Art focuses on the art of screen print posters. In the past 10 years screen printing has ballooned in popularity and a new class of artists has emerged. These artists stepped away from the psychedelic posters of the '60s and developed their own aesthetic-incorporating everything from hand-drawn type to found objects. Their posters have become sought-after collectors items for art and music fans alike. Featured artists include: Aaron Horkey, Jay Ryan, Jason Munn, Michael Motorcycle, Little Friends of Printmaking, Jesse LeDoux, ThinkMule, Paul Insect, Seripop, Brandy Flower, Aesthetic Apparatus, Decoder Ring, Nick Butcher, Rocky Grimes, Tyler Stout, Tim Gough and more.

192 Pages, Hardcover, 203 x 254 mm, 250 Color Illustrations

http://zerofriends.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=43&products_id=226


Here is some more info about the book and about my revolutionary creative process:

"A lot of people don't know that one of my 2 main hobbies are A) trying to do things blindfolded, and B) detective work, aka just pretty much spying on people. Over the years, because of certain projects that I have been lucky enough to be a part of, I have also gained access to certain peoples' lives, which is always an awesome chance to take part in my spying hobby.

For example, Did you know Avril Lavigne speaks FLUENT DOLPHIN??! Its incredible!

After spying on almost every celebrity in Hollywood, I had stockpiled a ton of actual secrets that I have learned about some of them. Some secrets are astonishing, others are just AWESOME. I then decided that i no longer wanted them to be secrets anymore, and I wanted to share them with all of you. But then I thought, "how could I possibly do this in a non-boring way??? Oh, I know, I will practice my OTHER hobby, and PAINT BLINDFOLDED while simultanously integrating all of these TRUE FACTS into my paintings, and then compile them into a set of books for you to enjoy."






And thus, "The Secrets Of Hollywood, Part 1" was born.
This is the first in a series of 3 books, which, when combined together, will be over 120 pages of amazing and SECRET secrets that some of your favorite celebrities don't want you to know.

Here are some pics of the book, and as an added bonus, the FIRST 100 ONLINE ORDERS WILL RECEIVE A FREE GICLEE PRINT OF A BRAND NEW SECRET! (HINT: ITS THIS CHRIS BROWN ONE RIGHT HERE:)







Note: "The Secrets of Hollywood" was originally compiled and published in 2004 in a smaller format, but sold out quickly and has not been available anywhere in 5 years. However, this new version, though containing the same artwork, is re-laid out with larger panels, and broken up into 3 separate books in order to present the artwork the way Alex originally intended it. This is book #1.

Preorder James Jeans Process Recess 3


James Jean announced that his newest art collection, Process Recess 3, is now available for preorder. Process Recess 2 is one of my alltime favorite purchases, but unlike that book, which consisted of prints suitable for removal and framing, this one seems to be a more straightforward (and longer) collection of sketches. You can preorder the limited edition for $200 here, and preorder the mundane version for 33% off at Amazon.

Process Recess 2 is listed as temporarily out of stock, but you can order it for $20 at Amazon.
