Known worldwide as a creative darling, Mike Perry’s celebrated DIY style of hand-drawn rendering has influenced a generation of contemporary designers and illustrators. Though Perry publishes zines, runs a magazine, makes clothing, has curated three successful books, and has painted, sculpted, silk-screened, and drawn on anything and everything, Wondering Around Wandering is his first monograph. And, in tune with his whimsical nature, this book functions as a true artist’s book. Perry has carefully designed each page of this book, placing old work next to new and sometimes even reworking old work to make it new again. With explosive fluorescent colors, various paper stocks, and five four-page zines bound into the book, this volume is an object that must be experienced. With his playful approach to life and art, it is no surprise that Perry is considered the grandfather (or grandson) of this aesthetic. Artists, designers, hip trendsetters, children, the young-at-heart, and anyone interested in DIY culture will treasure this amazing project.

My Mother Caught Me Doodling is a new-catalogued adventure into the always awe-inspiring naked female form by prolific daydreamer Mike Perry. As you journey through this book you will see Mike experimenting with a variety of media and conceptual commodities as he undresses the woman with bright colors and spontaneous energy. The book features three essays by Frank Nicholas that contribute playful heft and strange honestysomersaulting with a redemptive bulk or just plain subjective relevance. Whether browsed for its playful imaginary no longer imprisoned by popular cerebral influence or studied for its translated touch and deep interest in technique or temptationial insight (a form no less popular these days) that documents the incubated roots of the purest historical thoughts of creativity and the most basic human needs in thought; the instincts we try to capture like dancing myths in the forests of the night are surely evidence in the now "uncryptic" and "unanalyzed" by the hands of a true generationally tangible artist.

Pattern can be derived from many sources, if we remember to look closely. While patterns have been around forever, there'sa recent movement, a tendency among designers, to allow patterns to animate their work with colorful and exuberant complexity. Over and Over: A Catalog of Hand-Drawn Patterns collects groundbreaking work from fifty of today's most talented designers who create patterns by hand and use them in their work in inventive and innovative ways. From Deanne Cheuk's patterns that adorn current fashion to those of Robin Cameron that explore her interest in art to Garrett Morin's patterns that arose from an exercise for a character called Eloie, the examples in this book push the boundaries of the traditional concept of what a pattern is. The selected works are often not an end result but the beginning of something else, of something bigger and broader. While the computer is sometimes involved in the production of patterns, the hand-drawn element is always evident in the uniqueness of these works. Featuring more than 250 vibrant and exciting patterns, Over and Over explores this magic on every single page and will inspire designers everywhere.
