We Are the Friction

"We Are the Friction" is a collection of illustration and short fiction from Sing Statistics and it is really pretty.

The book features work by 12 pairs of illustrators and writers, including Ray Fenwick and Frank Chimero.

Unfortunately, "We Are the Friction" was released in 2009 and has since sold out. Bummer. The good news is Sing Statistics seems to have a few more books in the works.

Ray Fenwick

Grain Edit did a small profile on Ray Fenwick today for his hand-drawn typography. After reading it, I visited his website and discovered I was already a fan of his work, I just didn't know he was the artist behind it.

Fenwick created the patterned covers for these books where two works by an author are bound.





My favorite is obviously the Jonathan Safran Foer collection, but I do enjoy all of these patterns and the entire concept.
