Written By 1 - December 13 2012

Available Here

Dunny celebrates the end of the world with a group of artists so badass, you'll wish every year prophesized mass destruction. Angels of death, soapbox protestors, Mayan feathered serpents, toxic meltdowns - so many versions of Doomsday, how do you choose just one way to go?  The Apocalypse Dunny Series features 15 Judgment Day designs by 12 masters of their craft - from fine artists and illustrators, customizers and toy titans - this series is cataclysmic.  The collection includes designs by Jon Paul Kaiser, Mishka, Jermaine Rogers, Jesse Hernandez, Sam Fout, Joe Ledbetter, Ron English, Huck Gee, Patricio Oliver, Chris Ryniak, Hydro74, and Kronk.  An ode to the era when people still walked on Earth, you should line them up with the rations under your garage, because even canned sardines need friends.

Written By 1 - November 13 2012

Available Here

Original Reggae Album Cover Art: A visual history of Jamaican music from Mento to Dancehall. Compiled by Steve Barrow and Stuart Baker

Reggae Soundsystem! is a new deluxe 200 page hard-back 12”x12” book featuring hundreds of stunning full size record cover designs that span the history of reggae music.

 The book is compiled by the celebrated author and reggae expert Steve Barrow (Rough Guide to Reggae/ Blood and Fire Records) and Stuart Baker (Soul Jazz Records).

Beginning in the 1950s, Jamaican music developed into one of the most important and influential music industries in the world. From its early Mento (Jamaican Calypso) beginnings through to the invention of Ska, Rocksteady, Roots, Dub and Dancehall, Jamaican music is also one of the richest and innovative veins in popular music.

 This stunning hardback deluxe book is a timely look at the endless visually creativity of  reggae record cover designs, iconic, classic, rare and unique artwork spanning sixty years of Jamaican sounds.

 The book includes a fascinating introductory essay on the history of reggae by Steve Barrow and the book is edited by Stuart Baker (founder of Soul Jazz Records and editor of the book Dancehall, and cover art books on Bossa Nova, Freedom, Rhythm & Sound and Studio One Records).
