Eric Elms is a man of many talents. Take one look at his
portfolio and you'll see a body of work encompassing for some of our most covered (and coveted) brands including Supreme, Nike, Vans, UNDFTD and colette. His designs have set the standards at many a label, whether you're familiar with his name or not; and even if he himself would never admit it.
When I first caught wind of Eric's new publishing house, And Press, I was intrigued to say the least. Though not his first foray into the world of books (Eric worked with Kaws on NeckFace's first book "The Bride of Satan"), this new initiative is certainly his most ambitious. With debut titles from the likes of Parra, Aaron Bondaroff, Luke Barber-Smith, Jason Polan, Colin Dodgson and Eric himself, the first release speaks strongly on the shape of things to come.
On the eve of And Press' impending launch, I sat down with Mr. Elms for a quick Q&A about the whys, hows and whats of his venture into publishing.
Included is a preview of the first selection of books from And Press.
