Martí Guixé: Blank Book & Tattoo book
Martí Guixé was born in 1964 in Barcelona. He studied Interior design in Barcelona and Industrial design at the Politecnico in Milan.
He lives and works “on living matter” between Barcelona and Berlin, dedicating himself to the invention of “bright and simple ideas made of a curious seriousness”; he considers himself an “ex-designer” and works for firms such as Camper, Chupa-Chups, Desigual, Droog Design, Saporiti and Watx. He has exhibited at the MoMA in New York, the Design Museum in London, the MACBA in Barcelona and the Centre Pompidou in Paris.
Tattoo book is his third book for Corraini after Toy weapons and Blank book.

Paul Cox: A Book of Lines
From the unlimited fantasy of Paul Cox, one of the most appreciated French artists, comes "A book of lines". Instead of making the classic colouring book, Paul has prepared a reverse one: on paper there are not lines but only colours to which you can give shape, outline, sense. And more: there's also space for words and stories that can come out from those that seem only simple spots. Napa has now also some copies of "Intanto" (Meanwhile...) by Paul Cox. Published by Corraini in Milan.

New books from Picturebox in NY

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.
