"Urgent 2nd Class"
by Nick Bantock

Soft cover, 117 pages, color photographs and narrative by Nick Bantock

This fabulous new book by artist Nick Bantock is a departure from his illustrated prose. Reading Urgent 2nd Class, is like taking an art class with Nick! Profusely illustrated with examples of his artwork, this book walks you through topics such as faux mail, dubious documents, and shows art created from ephemera, paper, and art stamps. This book does not contain step-by-step instructions, but offers inspiration by how Nick shows examples of his art and discusses where he found the ephemera, and why he chose to use it as he did. It is truly both eye candy and inspiration for any paper artist, and a fun read for everyone!
