Tages-Anzeiger’s Das Magazin Cover – The DSM

I did these 3 new illustrations including the cover, for the Swiss Newspaper Tages-Anzeiger’s Das Magazine (click for article). They are for an article by Birgit Schmid about the book called The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders – or DSM. The DSM is a fascinating sociological artefact that attempts to formalise and categorise mental illness. As you can perhaps imagine that can be both helpful and troubling. Art direction by Andreas Wellnitz Studio, Berlin. With thanks to Frauke Schnoor. The article is in German, but there is always Google Translate.

THE ROTTEN TAROT LAUNCH EVENT!

Supertime Books & Jody Barton present a brand new Tarot deck with completely new ideas, artwork and metaphors in keeping with the dismal and comic age in which we cower. Laugh, cry and hurl as you utilise these exquisite esoteric fortune telling cards to re-order your own disordered life(style) into something yet more baroque and disassociative. Meet the artist and writer of this romantic deluge Jody Barton, get him to sign your cards, pummel him for insights into the fog you call ‘your life’ and be a good member of society, turning up to awkwardly meet other people with obliquely similar interests. Drinks, salty snacks, maybe a playlist – Jody might even ‘talk’. It’s gonna be a gas.
