Along with sucking on Lego and counting down the Rocket Clock, defacing a humble colouring book was once a 4-year-old's rite passage. A rite that seems to have diminished in place of ‘interactive learning' and defacing a screen with a mouse-controlled paintbrush.
This hit VA Editions Editor Ed Davis, when he was looking for a gift for his two little girls. Unable to find anything inspiring, he set about contacting a group of artists, writers and friends to create SHORT.
Saddle-stitched in black and white, SHORT combines the work of artists such as Stefan Marx, Deanne Cheuk, Mike Giant and Chris Hopkins into 82 pages of illustrations on which you can make your mark. Marx and Hopkins have also designed a poster as part of the publication, which is scribble-ready too.
Recently picked up by BEAMS in Japan, the book has lent itself to a series of seven illustrated tees to be released this week in Tokyo. They'll be available here later in the year, until then, get your paws and your pens onto SHORT.
