OUR NEW BOOK FACES IS OUT

Welcome to our wonderful world of faces...

We are very proud to announce the launch of our new book for Tate Publishing called "Faces". Its been one of the hardest but most rewarding projects to date. Hence lack of blog posts

Book Description.

Faces are all around us, everywhere we look. On every page of this inspiring and imaginative book the reader will encounter unusual and creative ways of making faces, using printing, collage, geometric shapes and sculpture. Surprising details are revealed by lifting flaps, looking through holes or turning the book upside-down. As well as being entertaining and engaging, "Faces" offers an insight into major modern art movements, including pop art, op art, abstraction, junk art and kinetic sculpture. The book's designers reference key artists, including Alexander Calder, Joan Miro, and Eduardo Paolozzi as well as graphic designers of the 1950s and '60s. 

Available from our web shop link here or at Tate shops.

The Genius of Ed Emberley

Ed Emberley has been a massive inspiration to us and millions of people over the years. Using just 6 basic shapes Ed shows us how to draw a world with animals, monsters, people vehicles and much much more. If only we had known about his books when we were kids.
