Rockstone & Bootheel: The Catalogue

I designed the Rockstone & Bootheel Catalogue over the course of the latter part of last year and now 13 months later like an Einstein baby (he reportedly stayed in a little longer explaining, in part his superior intellect), I have to say it was worth the wait.
Printed in Singapore by CS Graphics the 160 page hardcover 8.5" h x 6" w book with DVD, is just brilliant.

As Newman-Scott explained, “the works were juxtaposed in conversation with each other to reveal the complicated, changing, and sometimes conflicting stories of first and second generation Anglophone Caribbean artists, challenging common assumptions about West Indian culture and artistic expression.”
