Created as an edition for the 2010 New York Art Book Fair, Misaki Kawai’s oversize zine is a celebration of the book as the essential fashion accessory for the supercool. Each page features a different character absorbed in the contents of a book (which might be called “Puffy Hair” or “Hot Stuff”), and framed by a frieze of funky patterns, colored duct tape, and popsicle sticks. Each glittery, pom pom bound copy is hand numbered on the back and comes with a special “VIP Ticket” bookmark.

    Brooklyn-based Japanese artist Misaki Kawai creates playful books featuring drawings collected from her travels to India, Turkey, Nepal, Thailand and elsewhere. Printed on colorful stock, the works incorporate 3D elements and decorative bindings including the liberal use of tassels and pom-poms. Childlike imagery and found objects and combined in whimsical collages that tell absurdist and endearing stories in a way all her own.
