Traveling by Mike Perry
8"x10" ($20) | 11"x14" ($50) | 16"x20" ($200)

Confab-ulous greetings, collectors! We're all running around San Francisco readying for tonight's Collectors' Confab, but I wanted to (needed to!) take a quick break to introduce today's edition. Mike Perry was one of the very first artists we worked with in 2007. Can I just share how bewildered I am at a) how fast time flies and b) how much great stuff has happened since then? When I introduced him last, I was extolling his talents in graphics and typography. Today's edition, Traveling, is no different: his layers upon layers of colors and shapes create endless mini-landscapes and sights to see (see what I did there? sightseeing? traveling?!).

Mike has been like a member of the JBP family since we met, all those years ago, through edition-maker and good friend Kate Bingaman-Burt. When I saw his cheekily-titled book Hand Job: A Catalog of Type, I knew we had to hold an event to celebrate its publication. (Both artists live and breathe their work and design, and their process is fascinating to behold.) Three books later, Mike is still putting his many multidisciplinary talents to use in his latest, Pulled: A Catalog of Screen Printing. You can (should!) order it here.

So here's where it gets interesting: Several of Mike's books have been published by Princeton Architectural Press, which was recently acquired by the McEvoy Group, becoming a part of the Chronicle Books family. Between Chronicle Books and Princeton Architectural Press, there are many artists we've worked with who have also made beautiful books (and yet, there's more to come!).

And with that, off to prepare for tonight's event I go! And if you're in the San Francisco Bay Area tonight, be sure to stop by Chronicle Books for our Fourth Annual Collectors' Confab. There will be prints (framed and unframed) for purchase and, thanks to our friends at Square, credit card transactions will be a cinch. RSVP at rsvp@20x200.com.
