rockpants finds from the chicago comicon, part II

Awesome find number two: Josh Johnson. He has his own letterpress, and I was magnetically drawn to his artwork.



He does these awesome haunting little letterpress prints, most of which are of a creepy family called the Spindletons. I bought (well, traded books with him for) three of them. Also, I want a letterpress now.




He also does some really gorgeous watercolors, collages, and he handmakes books with the letterpress prints, books based on the Spindleton family and their misadventures. they're really lovely.



Once again, I can't really tell you where to buy his work, other than contacting him online, or tracking him down at SPX. But Josh's stuff is really breathtaking, if you can find it, it's intimate and chilling and magnetic. Letterpresses can be as cheap as $300 on ebay. Maybe I should stick one in my Amazon wishlist...


ps: it occurs to me that I never did this for APE. We found a LOT of great stuff at APE. Maybe I'll post them up here too.
