George Bataille: la littérature et le mal
Idées : Gallimard - Paris, 1969
couverture: photo-graphisme Henry Cohen
Het is 21 december 2012. Uitgerekend op de dag dat de uitkomst van de Maya-theorie niet blijkt uit te komen, wordt aan de oever van de rivier de Amstel in het centrum van Amsterdam onverwacht een ruimtevaartuig aangetroffen dat kort ervoor geland schijnt te zijn.
Niet groene, maar geel gekleurde buitenaardse wezens verspreiden zich met de snelheid van het licht over de hoofdstad van Nederland.
Niemand weet wat zij gaan brengen of wat dit betekenen zal voor de stad en haar bewoners, maar dat ze met een boodschap komen, is wel zeker.
It is December 21, 2012. On the very day that the outcome of the Mayan 'end-of-the-world-theory' turns out to be slightly incorrect, on the banks of the Amstel River in the center of Amsterdam unexpectedly a spacecraft has landed.
Not green, but yellow coloured aliens spread with the speed of light through the capital of the Netherlands.
Nobody knows what they will bring or what this will mean for the city and its inhabitants.

The cover (pre cut & pinch creased) for Will Steacy's collection of essays, "The Photographs Not Taken", where he asked photographers around the country and abroad to write about a moment in their lives that evaded the camera. 29 of these essays are featured in this first printed edition of the project.
British Railways issued a series of similar annual leaflets giving details of Continental Services using the many and various cross-Channel and North Sea ferry services, many of which they operated. This is the Winter 1960/61 leaflet for services from London to the French coast and Paris via Dover/Folkestone - Calais, Dover - Dunkerque, Newhaven - Dieppe or Southampton - Havre from either London Victoria or Waterloo stations.
The cover is a wonderful evocation of the French capital, capturing lots of Parisian scenes, and is by artist and teacher Brian Rees (b.1930). Welsh born Rees was commissioned by British Railways for various items of publicity and was also repsonisble for many book cover designs.

Power of the mind: The idea called for a "Douglas Fraser meets the Black Panthers" inspired image. With no budget, to call the master himself, we produced this somewhat ham-fisted approximation. While a poor substitute for the real thing, it works well enough for our small publication.

Although Marie Watt identifies as a Native American artist on grounds that she is both Native American (Seneca, one of the Six Nations of the Iroquois) and an artist, her work draws from her ethnicity to form relationships with the larger world. In developing a catalogue for a large exhibition of her work at the Boise Art Museum and the Nicolaysen Museum in Casper, Wyoming, we deliberately avoided the ghetto-izing manner popular in interpretations of contemporary Native American art (e.g., sepia-toned photographs, the words land, spirit and power); Ms. Watt is a modern artist, and we framed this collection of her work in a modern context, letting her work speak for itself.

Doesn't everyone enjoy design book covers for their fictional book featuring none other than hard drinking human/goat hybrid biker Glen Fandango? Here's the only excerpt I've actually written from 'The Wild One':
In the silence that blossomed you could have heard a pin drop. No one knew quite what to say. It wasn't so much that they couldn't comprehend the words more that they were agog at the person who was presenting them. Glen Fandango stood a shade over 7ft tall (including his horns) and was dressed in the leathers of a now defunct biker gang. He glanced round the puzzled faces and repeated his question 'Can I get a beer please?' The lady behind the bar was the first to gather her wits and she pivoted towards the beer tap with a glass in her hand without either taking her eyes off him or saying a word.
As he waited for the beer he casually surveyed the other people in the bar before adding 'I'm also looking for a bit of information. Does anybody here know an Alice Gerhardt?' With that pronouncement the temperature in the room dropped a further few degrees as it would seem he had struck a nerve. Perfect, that was just what he wanted. Glen smiled. Not that you'd know it though as his goat face was largely inscrutable to the average person. It would seem that he was in the right place after all.
Glen had not had an easy life but it's not all been his fault. Ever since his 'father' rescued him from a government lab in North Korea and escaped across the border to the south with the infant in his arms people have been pointing and whispering. A small measure of fame followed his arrival in Seoul and within a few years they had been invited to the USA to start a new life.
As a young kid, whilst his father continued his work in genetics for the US Department of Defense, he was relentlessly teased until his tormentors learned the hard way that the horns on his head weren't just for decoration. This, in turn, led to an early involvement with the police. It's one of the few relationships he's managed to successfully maintain over the years. By the time his father died he was an angry young man with a chip on his shoulder and the face of a goat. The next decade was an epic spiral of booze, bikes and bad decisions. It was only after hitting rock bottom that he managed to come to terms with himself and emerge, not entirely unscathed, on the other side. Nowadays he's (more or less) working on the side of the angels and if you can find him and convince him your case is worthy he is, without doubt, the best manhunter on the planet...
And that's what I've got. Along with my carefully designed biker patch for his now defunct biker gang and his likeness sprayed on the side of an abandoned van. You can make the rest up yourself...
Cheers
