SHORT
 Limited colouring book featuring a strong contingent of international artists.
Book specifications: RRP: AUD 20 // JPY2500 >> Contributors |
Remember the thrill of cutting lose with paint? Of colouring outside the lines? Of eating crayons? SHORT lets big and little kids alike get creative with a limited edition colouring book. The publication features contributions from a large number of globally recognised and local artists such as Perth born and NYC-based Deanne Cheuk, German skate fiend Stefan Marx, San Fran-based artist Mike Giant, Sydney graphic artists We Buy Your Kids, PAM’s Misha Hollenbach and French illustrator Genevieve Gauckler.
The book came about when VA Editions editor Edward Davis couldn’t find anything inspiring to give his two little kids. So he decided to contact a range of artists who ended up crafting 82 pages worth of colouring templates. Composed in beautiful black and white paper with saddle stitch binding, each page provides the opportunity to collaborate with each artist in a unique way. SHORT is limited to 1000 copies world wide, and each edition comes with a complimentary poster by Stefan Marx and Chris Hopkins. Japanese high-end fashion and design retailer BEAMS recently signed on to stock SHORT all over Japan. BEAMS will also create a line of limited-edition VA Editions | SHORT tees, featuring the artwork of seven SHORT artists. These tees will be available on a very limited run in Australia later in 2008.
SHORT is on limited release through VA Editions.
In store April 2008.
