Book Description
The first major publication in more than thirty years on contemporary artist Chryssa, an innovator of light art Chryssa & New York offers a timely reassessment of Greek-born artist Chryssa (Chryssa Vardea-Mavromichali, 1933-2013). Chryssa was a leading figure in the postwar New York art world and in the use of signage, text, and neon, yet her work, which bridges Pop, Conceptual, and Minimalist approaches to art making, remains under-recognized. Focusing on the artist's early career, in particular her time in New York from the 1950s to the 1970s, this book charts the emergence of her singular aesthetic, especially her formal innovations with neon, and culminates in the development of her monumental and rarely seen installation The Gates to Times Square (1964-66). Essays situate Chryssa's art alongside that of other New York-based practitioners in the 1950s and 1960s, consider her work through the lenses of queer theory and the Greek diaspora, and uncover her crucial influence on light art today. Rounding out the volume, a conversation on the technical aspects of her practice and a comprehensive chronology make this the definitive publication on Chryssa for years to come.

Book Description
Ubiquitous at boutiques and cafés, on Etsy and Pinterest, in stationery and home decor, the art of chalk lettering is hotter than ever. Valerie McKeehan, an Etsy standout whose work has been featured in magazines and websites from Good Housekeeping to RealSimple.com, teaches us everything we need to know to create gorgeous hand-drawn chalk designs. The book is also a practice space, with three foldout “chalkboards”—the inside cover and foldout back cover are lined with blackboard paper. In over 60 lessons, learn the ABCs of lettering (literally) and basic styles: serif, sans serif, and script. Next, how to lay out a design, combine various styles into one cohesive piece, add shadows and dimension. Master more advanced letter styles, from faceted to ribbon to “vintage circus.” Use banners, borders, flourishes. And finally, 12 projects to show off your newfound skills: including a Winter Wonderland Snow Globe; a smartphone-themed birthday card to text friends and family; a one-of-a-kind party invitation to create, photograph, and mail; and a bake sale sign guaranteed to put everyone who sees it in the mood for a cupcake!

Book Description
Back in the Fall of 2001, Klutz created The Fabulous Book of Paper Dolls, and it's a good thing we did. Almost 800,000 copies later, we are happy to say we have given it a brand-new face without messing with the time-tested content. These paper people wear their clothes with the help of reusable, press-on, peel-off adhesive dots - no tabs! The dolls, clothes, and accessories are perforated, ready to pop right out and play. Six reversible paper dolls in a variety of skin tones come with the book. Half of them have pre-printed faces, and the other half are ready to be customized. There are bunches of reversible clothes, shoes, and hairstyles that make exactly one jillion different combinations. (We counted.) Of course, any fashion expert will tell you that accessories are the key to snappy dressing, so we've provided plenty of them, from hats to sunglasses to soccer balls to tiaras. To round out the family, three baby paper dolls and a few paper pets are also included. Artists from around the globe were commissioned to create six beautifully illustrated backdrop scenes. Prop open the book to one, and your dolls are transported to a beach, ballroom, theatrical stage, neighborhood park, winter wonderland, or only-slightly-messy kids' bedroom. In the back of the book is a nifty portfolio-pocket armoire, providing plenty of wrinkle-free storage for the dolls, clothes, and accessories after they've been punched out. The Fabulous Book of Paper Dolls is a fabulous introduction to a classic activity - now freshened up for a whole new generation.
