King Joe - Singles Going Steady

It all started when King Joe started to label the paper sleeve of his 7 inch collection with titles of the records so that he could easily distinguish them in the dark while DJing. Gradually, the titles started to develop into colorful illustrations. And before he knew it, he had over 200 singles covered with his original drawings inspired by the music. The book comples 96 from the 200 images. Drawn with Posca Markers, these intense, funny, erotic, spontaneous yet carefully composed illustrations are full of the strong primitive energy of King Joe. Witness his 96 drops of tears, sweat and saliva. . . his pure passion and love for the music! Includes commentary on all the 96 singles by the artist, and foreword by the award-winning talented and controversial young writer of present-day Japan, Masaya Nakahara, and also, an interview with the artist. . Presspop Gallery, hardcover, all color, 8 x 8 in., Japanese/English, 128 pp.
