Graphisme(s) Typographie. The Grid System. The Exquisite Book Project: A Big Announceme. Happy New Year everyone! I couldn’t wait to start off the year with a huge announcement I have been dying to share for months. For the past year and a half, Jenny, Matt (my ALSO partners) and I have been working on curating/authoring/designing a new art book called The Exquisite Book which will be published by Chronicle Books this fall! We are so excited to have Dave Eggers of the popular McSweeney’s, 826 Valencia program and screenwriter for Where the Wild Things Are contributing an illustrated introduction to our book!! We have always been inspired by his work and are so thrilled he will be involved in our book. The book idea is loosely based on the game started by the Surrealists in the 1920′s called the Exquisite Corpse.
Here is how our project is set up: There are ten groups of ten artists participating in the process. Besides continuing the story of the last artist, there is another, more visual, connection between the pages.
