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
