This coming Friday, September 3rd, Motto will release the new “Black Masters” book by Jody Barton, produced by Nieves.

“Black Masters is a book of ‘master drawings’ in the same way that musicians used to have ‘master tapes’ of a music recording. Together the collection of drawings makes for an in-depth look at all the obsessions, wit and investigative zeal into language that characterises Jody’s work. The book comprises 600+ drawings from the past 7 years, organised in stylistic themes over 168 pages. Most of these drawings have never been published before.”

Book Launch September 3rd, 6 pm – 7 pm
at Motto Art Book Fair, Skalitzerstrasse 68, Berlin

In other interesting Norse Projects news, the Danish brand presents as part of their Fall/Winter 2010 Artist Program, t-shirts with PAM, Husk MIt Navn and Jody Barton. Each artist contributed several t-shirt designs to the new collection, which will be released this week, during Copenhagen Fashion Week.

Detailed images of all collaborative t-shirts follow after the jump.

A little while ago we reported about a new German culture site – Artschoolvets. Beginning of the month they have now also launched a Designer/Artist T-Shirt Series. Mostly local, but also some international designers and artists created t-shirts for the portal. The outcome is a line-up of overall 23 t-shirts. The designs are very diverse, so everybody should find a good match.
Participating artists included Marok (above), Jody Barton (above), Skism, Paze, Daniel Josefsohn, Mirko Borsche, Studio Anti and many others – all in all a very strong line-up.
All t-shirts are now available in limited quantities in the Artschoolvets Online Store. Make sure to have a look!
