Tierney Gearon's Alphabet Book

Happy holidays from ARTBOOK | D.A.P.! Featured image, illustrating the letter 'X' with the phrase Xmas Xing, is reproduced from Tierney Gearon's Alphabet Book, published by Damiani. Jamie Bradley Sims of T magazines writes, "It’s a great introduction to Gearon’s work for children and adults of all ages." Her new book takes the form of a children’s alphabet book. Each letter of the alphabet is illustrated with a photograph by Gearon that animates the letter: A is "Airplane Adventure," B is "Bear Boy," C becomes "Clown Car," etc. At once an inventive photo book and an enchanting take on the children’s alphabet book, this volume contains Gearon’s most charming and lighthearted work to date. The artist describes the project as "an art book for children and a children’s book for adults."
