gifts

Neil Morris, my printing tutor at LJMU loaned me this book. i never looked at it once if i'm honest, until i took it back and he said "keep it". Neil likes books and for him to give one away seemed a bit mental to me. maybe it was shit. maybe it wasnt. but i thought best to check incase.

turned out to be a gem.


it's a picture book full of mad collages, telling the story of a man called Moonglow in a post world-war 3 society. absolutely tongue in cheek and no doubt the artist was on one, influenced by some chemical substances. but who am i to judge? JUST LOOK AT IT.










everything about it, from the layout, the paper, the font, the smell, the collages themselves. AGH. i love it. i wish i'd thanked Neil properly.
