Jaakko Pallasvuo zines

Jaakko Pallasvuo is a young and talented busy bee artist from Helsinki. I thought this is his latest work, but we got another zine from him today! Also Jaakko's previous book Megaverse (with Julia Selin) will get its second edition by Medium Rare soon, and will be available at Napa not too much later.

Margaret Kilgallen: In The Sweet Bye & Bye

A compilation of works by the influential San Francisco Bay Area painter Margaret Kilgallen (1967-2001). Kilgallen's unique re-sourcing of sweetly familiar and non-hierarchical everyday places, markings and people was in large part inspired by the wandering culture of immigrants, railway workers and dreamers.

Chris Johanson / Jo Jackson: Peaceable Kingdom
Peaceable Kingdom is the first book of collaborative work by the two American artists Chris Johanson (1968, San Jose) and Jo Jackson (1972, Springfield), partners in life and art. All paintings feature a mix and match of both artists' styles, from Johanson's political, social themes and color patterns, to the oneiric, provocative and ambiguous side of human identity represented by Jackson's softer tones.

She is inspired from the little things in her everyday life like old photographs and books, and for Mexican Love Story she wanted to share with the viewers her fascination for Mexican culture and their festive approach to death as well as to life.
