If you haven’t already perused the lovely pages nearly overflowing with luscious illustration, rifle through your in-box and check out THE ARTALOG 2008 – the first ever collaborative effort between Magnet Reps and Frank Sturges Reps.
The 80-page catalog of illustration showcases the work of 30 artists from 9 countries. A carefully edited two-page spread for each illustrator gives a nice perspective on what each is up to and an eight-page award gallery boasts recently awarded work. Actually, saying it’s a catalog belies the high-touch yet sturdy feel of its thick matte varnish stock and the gorgeous art inside. We designed it to be a keeper and hope you’ll agree.
Cheers to 2008!
