2 little gems from Incognito Press - finally a good little flower sketchbook!

Incognito Press' Flowers & Compositions 2009

This book is a gem!! You guys have been all over me for flower sketchbooks - well this one is pretty rad. Tons of roses, chrysanthemums, cherry blossoms - both on and off the branch, peony, lillies, orchids, lotus and more. Predominately 1-2 flower outlines per page with the occational bird, heart, skull etc for accent and inspiration this book. It is well bound and is small and lightweight making it perfect for conventions. We love incognito press. x

Divertimento For a Martyr by Takato Yamamoto - Beautifully Grim Imagery

This book is creepy. Really unsettling. Takato Yamamoto has made quite a name for himself here with his perverse and graphic imagery. His pieces often feature young rather androgynous Japanese and are riddled with blood and sinew, flowers and beautiful moons and delicate costumes. He often juxtaposes delicate beauty with grim gristly environments. His pieces are busy and the eye is forced to seek out what exactly is unsettling about each illustration...knowing full well it might not want to really know. Haunting.

Size: 7.5" x 10"- Pages: 80 - Published: 2006 - Price: $60 - Hardcover in slipcase

Insane Mums...

I found these pics on an old camera and thought I'd share...they are from a display in Shinjuku last year. They'd rigged special support cups under the blooms to keep them from tipping over. Hahaha....yeah.
