Thirty artists have been asked to create repeatable patterns from some of their favorite things. Features a cover by the amazing Micah Lidberg and illustrations from Golden Cosmos, Lab Partners, Paul Paetzel, Matthew the Horse, Meg Hunt, and many more. Printed in a limited, hand-numbered edition of three thousand copies, Nobrow 5 is not only a beautiful publication, but also a real collector's item.
Nobrow #5 is subtitled, "A Few of My Favorite Things", which is yet another very loose prompt for the thirty contributors to this volume. The last in its format, this issue of the Nobrow anthology goes all out with respect to the spot colors, with each piece and vibrant as the next. Though the prompt is loosely defined, structuring is prevalent in the artwork as many artists choose to repeat patterns across their allotted page. The final product is a collection of truly vibrant and beautiful compositions that are inspiring for any artists hoping to understand the use of blocking and color in their own works.
