The perfect holiday gift book for the one who doubts everything

Let’s face it, the holidays can be oppressive—psychologically, spiritually, emotionally and aesthetically. Our antidote: Vincent Sardon: The Stampographer, published by Siglio Press. Case in point: Sardon’s sado-masochistic Christmas tree ornament stamps. With just two colors of ink and a few blocks of rubber, Sardon is able to produce an image that is at once festive, ironic, delicate, vulgar, offensive, hilarious, ridiculous and completely original, even as it is also infinitely and intentionally reproducible by anyone with the nerve to stop by his small storefront studio in Paris. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. The perfect holiday gift book for the one who doubts everything.
