I've included some of my favorite images and passages below. The memoir excerpts in Good Morning No. 1 are incredibly moving, and I hope the full work will be published some day. Due to Joanne's remarkable honesty and openness, her tales of growing up in Louisville in the fifties take on a heartbreaking and near mythic tone. She writes that "much of [her] adult life has been spent unraveling the tangled web of my childhood," and reading her honest words I feel closer to unraveling my own tangled web, and what more can you ask for from a book? <img src="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/2/88505/3328168/01_joanne_oldham_good_morning_cover.jpg" border="0" width="550" height="762" width_o="550" height_o="762" src_o="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/2/88505/3328168/01_joanne_oldham_good_morning_cover_o.jpg" align="left" data-mid="17088229" /> "I was always disappointed with my finished art. It was never as good as I hoped it would be. At age seven, I was already judging myself by impossibly high standards; my mother, too, judged me by adult standards. In fact, I still have the Junior Art Gallery clay sculpture; when I look at it now, I can see that it was quite accomplished for a seven year old. Now, in my early sixties, making art has been a big part of my life for years, as much of a saving grace for me as reading was when I was six. When I draw, my muse speaks to me." <img src="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/2/88505/3328168/02_joanne_oldham_good_morning.jpg" border="0" width="525" height="711" width_o="525" height_o="711" src_o="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/2/88505/3328168/02_joanne_oldham_good_morning_o.jpg" align="left" data-mid="17088230" /> <img src="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/2/88505/3328168/03_joanne_oldham_good_morning.jpg" border="0" width="600" height="779" width_o="600" height_o="779" src_o="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/2/88505/3328168/03_joanne_oldham_good_morning_o.jpg" align="left" data-mid="17088231" /> <img src="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/2/88505/3328168/04_joanne_oldham_good_morning.jpg" border="0" width="600" height="723" width_o="600" height_o="723" src_o="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/2/88505/3328168/04_joanne_oldham_good_morning_o.jpg" align="left" data-mid="17088233" /> "The stallions I drew were copies of one on the covers of one of the first horse stories I read, The Black Stallion, but the stories I imagined about them were different. I had listened to the cowboy stories on the radio with my grandfather after dinner. I especially liked 'Straight Arrow' and 'The Lone Ranger' because both heroes had hidden identities. In bed at night, I lay in the dark and imagined that I had a stallion like the one in my drawings, a wild stallion, wild to every one but me. He was mine, and when I whistled my secret whistle, he thundered to my side in a flash. I whistled for him to save me from bad guys or to help me save good guys from bad ones. Then I galloped away on my stallion, leaving every one dazed and wondering who that brave little girl was." <img src="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/2/88505/3328168/05_joanne_oldham_good_morning.jpg" border="0" width="525" height="630" width_o="525" height_o="630" src_o="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/2/88505/3328168/05_joanne_oldham_good_morning_o.jpg" align="left" data-mid="17088234" /> <img src="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/2/88505/3328168/06_joanne_oldham_good_morning.jpg" border="0" width="525" height="686" width_o="525" height_o="686" src_o="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/2/88505/3328168/06_joanne_oldham_good_morning_o.jpg" align="left" data-mid="17088235" /> "At home I drew horses in pencil on the blank pages in the front and back of my books. In Miss Brooks's class we worked on art projects twice a week. I made clay finger puppets of all the puppet characters on my favorite TV show, 'Kukla, Fran and Ollie.' Kukla was a cheery little bald guy with a round nose, dots for eyes and a high, squeaky voice; Ollie, my favorite, was a friendly but naughty dragon with only one big pointy tooth just under his pointy snout at the front of his huge mouth. I didn't care much for Fran, who was a human being, sweet but boring. There was also a snooty old woman puppet, Madame Oglepuss, who acted very glamorous, but with her huge curved nose and baggy eyes, was really ugly. When I wrote the cursive 'J' of my name at the top of my school papers, I always made it as a profile of Madame Oglepuss." <img src="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/2/88505/3328168/08_joanne_oldham_good_morning.jpg" border="0" width="525" height="688" width_o="525" height_o="688" src_o="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/2/88505/3328168/08_joanne_oldham_good_morning_o.jpg" align="left" data-mid="17088238" /> <img src="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/2/88505/3328168/10_joanne_oldham_good_morning.jpg" border="0" width="525" height="704" width_o="525" height_o="704" src_o="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/2/88505/3328168/10_joanne_oldham_good_morning_o.jpg" align="left" data-mid="17088241" /> <img src="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/2/88505/3328168/Good-Morning_03a.jpg" border="0" width="600" height="461" width_o="600" height_o="461" src_o="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/2/88505/3328168/Good-Morning_03a_o.jpg" align="left" data-mid="17350797" /> <img src="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/2/88505/3328168/Good-Morning-1-copy-1-2.jpg" border="0" width="525" height="741" width_o="525" height_o="741" src_o="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/2/88505/3328168/Good-Morning-1-copy-1-2_o.jpg" align="left" data-mid="17350802" /> "The collage of the baby enjoying the frolicking alligator is me and it came to me in a very positive dream about fifteen years ago. The setting was the backyard of the house I have lived in for 38 years. In the dream the alligators were playful, filled with energy and not at all frightening. I did not come to terms with my father's death until I was in my fifties, after a dream in which I was able to look into my father's coffin and see that he looked just as he had looked in life--and then I cried for him for the first time." Press release (edition of 500 copies):Joanne Oldham has quietly been making art in a range of mediums for several decades. Though mostly known for a scattering of Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy releases, including the iconic cover for I See a Darkness, the vast majority of this prolific artist and writer’s work has never been seen outside of her circle of family and friends. Intensely personal, warm, and often terrifying, her art is playful and mysterious, existing in a space of constant conflict. The debut issue of Good Morning dedicates the entire issue to a selection of work done over the last 25 years showcasing Oldham’s unique vision. Collages, paintings, drawings, as well as excerpts from Oldham’s memoir of growing up in the south in the 1950s are included, as well as biographical notes written by the artist herself.

My favorite factoid in the book: Lu Xun—who introduced modern woodblock techniques to China—loved the German Expressionists and Käthe Kollwitz in particular. The authors point out that though Lu Xun taught many Western techniques, he always encouraged designers to seek inspiration in Chinese design history. <img src="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/2/88505/3328295/02_chinese_graphic_design.jpg" border="0" width="525" height="714" width_o="525" height_o="714" src_o="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/2/88505/3328295/02_chinese_graphic_design_o.jpg" align="left" data-mid="17088457" /> China Sketch, December 1936 "The End of Science" (back cover) Illustrator: Zhong-xin <img src="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/2/88505/3328295/01_chinese_graphic_design.jpg" border="0" width="525" height="714" width_o="525" height_o="714" src_o="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/2/88505/3328295/01_chinese_graphic_design_o.jpg" align="left" data-mid="17088455" /> China Sketch, December 1936 Designer: Tian Wu-zai <img src="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/2/88505/3328295/03_chinese_graphic_design.jpg" border="0" width="525" height="725" width_o="525" height_o="725" src_o="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/2/88505/3328295/03_chinese_graphic_design_o.jpg" align="left" data-mid="17088459" /> Ten Years of the Shenshi Telegraphic Dispatch Agency, c. 1930 Designer: Qian Jun-tao <img src="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/2/88505/3328295/05_chinese_graphic_design.jpg" border="0" width="525" height="733" width_o="525" height_o="733" src_o="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/2/88505/3328295/05_chinese_graphic_design_o.jpg" align="left" data-mid="17088461" /> The Short Story Magazine, August 1927.

Beginning with the basic traditions of Chinese graphics, the authors show how the writer and artist Lu Xun became the center of cultural revival in the new China. We see Art Deco coming to China in the Shanghai Style, and the birth of a dynamic national design style, born of Russian Constructivism and China’s own drive for new technology. The Socialist Realist art of Mao in turn adopted folk art traditions to fuel the Revolutionary machine, while the continuing search for a new identity can be seen in the graphic images of protest from the summer of 1989. 150 color and 135 black-and-white photographs and illustrations. Chinese Graphic Design in the Twentieth Century makes a nice companion to the Steven Heller's Art Deco Graphic Design series for Chronicle (though it's published by Thames & Hudson).

After studying at the Hongo Yoga Kenkyujo (Hongo Research Institute for Western Art) he entered the Western-style art department of Tokyo Art School in 1919. He was an ardent admirer of illustrator Takehisa Yumeji and poet Kitahara Hakushu. After graduation from art school, he married in 1921 and to support his new family he began to produce illustrations for children for Kodomo no tomo [Child's Friend], a children's magazine published by Fujin no Tomo Sha. In 1922 he became one of the leading illustrators for Kodomo no kuni [Children's Land] from its inaugural issue. In 1923 he published Otogi no tamago [The Fairy's Egg], and in 1925 his first individual exhibition was held in Ginza in the heart of Tokyo. His Ramu-ramu O [King Ramu-ramu] came out in 1926. The following year, with Shimizu Yoshio, Okamoto Kiichi, Kawakami Shiro, and other illustrators contributing to the Kodomo no kuni, Takei formed the Nihon Doga Kyokai (Japan Association of Illustration for Children), as part of the effort to achieve artistic quality in illustrations for children. Following Okamoto's death, Takei succeeded him as critic and selector of illustrations submitted to Kodomo no kuni in 1931. In 1955, he became editorial adviser for the magazine Kinda bukku [Kinder Book]. I again found these images in the database of the National Diet Library. My only disappointment is that there are no dogs with eyes as big as mill-wheels. The post title of course comes from Andersen. Some of Takei's books have been reprinted and are available from amazon.co.jp.

In 1907, at the age of fourteen, he was accepted at the Taiheiyo Gakai Kenkyujo, a school of Western-style art affiliated with the Taiheiyo Gakai (Pacific Art Society Institute) established in 1904. He studied Western-style painting under Ishii Hakutei and Ishii Toraji. At the same time, he taught himself ukiyo-e by copying works by the masters. In 1910, he won first place in a cover design contest for the magazine Shonen sekai [Boy's World]. In 1913, he started illustrating for magazines published by Hakubunkan, including Yonen gaho [Toddler's Illustrated] and Yonen sekai [Infant's World], and for the magazine Shojo [Girls] printed by Jijishinpo. In the 1920s, he was active as an established illustrator for such prominent journals as Kodomo no kuni [Children's Land], Kodomo asahi [Children's Asahi], and Kodomo no tomo [The Child's Friend]. From 1928 to 1936 he illustrated for Shonen kurabu [Boy's Club]. He was also one of the artists recruited to illustrate the well-known Nihon dowa senshu [Collected Japanese Stories] (Maruzen Co., 1926-1936) and Nihon jido bunko [Library for Japanese Children] (Arusu, 1927-1930). Among Honda's leading works are Koganemaru [Koganemaru the Dog] by Iwaya Sazanami (1938), Songoku [The Monkey King] (1939), and Songoku to Hakkai [The Monkey King and Hakkai] (1940) in the Kodansha Picture Book series.

"centerfold" in Gratuitous Type, "the pamphlet of typographic smut." Gratuitous Type publisher Elana Schlenker donated her photos now that the issue is out-of-print (buy issue 2 while it's available).

She later researched and photographed a number of book covers designed and published there in the sixties and seventies. She noted that the majority of the books are screenprinted.

If you are wondering what it could possibly be about, read the plot on wikipedia. <img src="http://payload44.cargocollective.com/1/2/88505/3198756/das-feurerzeug.jpg" border="0" width="650" height="835" width_o="650" height_o="835" src_o="http://payload44.cargocollective.com/1/2/88505/3198756/das-feurerzeug_o.jpg" align="left" data-mid="16372587" /> Illustrator bio by Atlantis-Verlag ["Heinrich" is a pseudonym]:Heiri Strub was born in 1916 and trained as a typesetter, then becoming a graphic designer and a painter. From 1945, he was working as a freelance artist. He illustrated books for young adults, and modern fiction. His colourful picture books, allowing a fresh view of classic texts, are still impressive. Just as impressive as Strub‘s political biography: After Hitler‘s assumption of power, seventeen-year-old Strub joined the Youth Committee Against War and Fascism, and he still is an active trade unionist. Because he was impeded in his work by the authorities, he moved to the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) with his family in 1957. In 1971, he returned to Switzerland. Also see this long bio in German. I plan to feature another book by Strub tomorrow. <img src="http://payload44.cargocollective.com/1/2/88505/3198756/das-feurerzeug-3_900.jpg" border="0" width="900" height="582" width_o="900" height_o="582" src_o="http://payload44.cargocollective.com/1/2/88505/3198756/das-feurerzeug-3_o.jpg" align="left" data-mid="16372581" /> <img src="http://payload44.cargocollective.com/1/2/88505/3198756/das-feurerzeug-4_900.jpg" border="0" width="900" height="582" width_o="900" height_o="582" src_o="http://payload44.cargocollective.com/1/2/88505/3198756/das-feurerzeug-4_o.jpg" align="left" data-mid="16372582" /> <img src="http://payload44.cargocollective.com/1/2/88505/3198756/das-feurerzeug-5_900.jpg" border="0" width="900" height="576" width_o="900" height_o="576" src_o="http://payload44.cargocollective.com/1/2/88505/3198756/das-feurerzeug-5_o.jpg" align="left" data-mid="16372583" /> <img src="http://payload44.cargocollective.com/1/2/88505/3198756/das-feurerzeug-6.jpg" border="0" width="650" height="857" width_o="650" height_o="857" src_o="http://payload44.cargocollective.com/1/2/88505/3198756/das-feurerzeug-6_o.jpg" align="left" data-mid="16372584" /> <img src="http://payload44.cargocollective.com/1/2/88505/3198756/das-feurerzeug-7.jpg" border="0" width="650" height="830" width_o="650" height_o="830" src_o="http://payload44.cargocollective.com/1/2/88505/3198756/das-feurerzeug-7_o.jpg" align="left" data-mid="16372585" /> <img src="http://payload44.cargocollective.com/1/2/88505/3198756/das-feurerzeug-8_900.jpg" border="0" width="900" height="583" width_o="900" height_o="583" src_o="http://payload44.cargocollective.com/1/2/88505/3198756/das-feurerzeug-8_o.jpg" align="left" data-mid="16372586" /> See the full "Kinderbuch series" of German, Austrian, and Swiss children's books See all children's books on 50 Watts
