Barney Bubbles

Exclusive film of the meticulous making of A Box of Bubbles

Here is exclusive film from the specialist printers which is handling the making of the forthcoming limited edition A Box of Bubbles.

Just 500 copies of A Box of Bubbles will be published this summer; it contains a unique hard cover version of the new monograph The Wild World World of Barney Bubbles along with a folio of reproductions of the late graphic genius’s most innovative and eye-catching artworks.

 

As this shows, A Box of Bubbles is presented in a clothbound pink solander box, featuring a screen-printed design taken from Barney Bubbles’ legendary artwork for Ian Dury and The Blockheads’ hit single Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick/There Ain’t Half Been Some Clever Bastards.

 

The outer box design continues into the interior and the book itself, bound in a contrasting white cloth. This clip shows how the Galactic Tarot card set – see design below – will be housed within the box.

A Box of Bubbles is published by Volume and available here.
