To continue the Peter Green/Fleetwood Mac trend, here’s Fleetwood Mac playing Man of the World.
It’s haunting, beautiful and hard to get out of your head. Melancholy at it’s finest.

Beautiful Decay Book 2

Author: Facemelter | Posted: 12/15/09 7:13 pm

Beautiful Decay’s Book 2, titled What a Mess!, arrived yesterday in the mail.

Details:

Book 2: What A Mess!

The artists of “Book 2: What a Mess!” all interpret the idea of “messiness” whether through disorganized methods of displaying work, or rough hewn aesthetics. Others take a conceptually “messy” approach, creating works that cause public outrage, or manipulate typically taboo imagery or themes.

In the spirit of the theme of the issue, Beautiful/Decay got a little messy ourselves, using a playfully “messy” approach to our page layouts, including crumpling photos and creating a custom typeface of childhood favorite construction materials: googly eyes, popsicle sticks and puff balls.

Book 2: Special Features

* Hand Signed Silkscreen mini print by Cody Hoyt
Each copy of Book 2 comes with a dazzling taco and fruit loop eating glue-sniffing guru print by Cody Hoyt. On the back, each mini-poster is hand signed and hand numbered by the artist!

* Sticker Insert
Custom collaborative sticker featuring a rock n’ roll wookie/Bigfoot character by Moritz Schleime.

* French flaps & Gatefold
Book 2’s front and back lining gatefold of the book opens out to stunning three part geometric diagrams, abstracting photos of the artists and their studios into a dizzying digital display replete with a secret code!

* Hand Numbered Edition
Each and every copy of Book 2’s exclusive 1,500 print run are hand numbered.

* 164 Pages of Pure Content- No Ads!
All traditional advertising has been eliminated, meaning 164 pages of pure, unadulterated content. Book 2 features some of the most in-depth interviews and image-rich spreads on emerging and establishing artists available today.

Check out the a full video preview here.
