New books from Picturebox in NY





Yuichi Yokoyama: Travel
“Few cartoonists of the moment are weirder or more original than Yuichi Yokoyama — his work obsessively diagrams architecture and design … TRAVEL is remarkably entertaining.” — Douglas Wolk, The New York Times Book Review

Ben Jones: New painting and drawing
A gem-like catalog produced in conjunction with Ben Jones’ first solo show in Athens, Greece. Ben Jones, a member of the art collective Paper Rad, makes fantastic cartoon surrealist paintings one part Stanley Kubrick and one part Andy Warhol.

Brian Belott’s first book is a compendium of all his disparate artistic practices–including collage, drawing, found photography and sound mixing–and it is also his first CD. The original CD/DVD included here offers the acclaimed Found Images, a digital slideshow of over 2000 photos with an exclusive full-length soundtrack of original sound collages.
