You may have remembered the brilliant John Lee Phillips’s project to draw all the items in his grandad’s shed – well he has a book coming out that highlights some of excellent work.
I look forward to looking at them in more details when they come out.
The details from the publisher Laurence King
Started in 2013, originally as one drawing a day, Phillips’ Shed Project documents item by item the contents of his late grandfather’s shed.
Lee estimates there are 100,000 objects in the shed, from rusting hammers and saws, from rivets and nails to scissors and paintbrushes. He has currently drawn 4,600 of them.
Yet he refuses to be daunted by the task, painstakingly drawing and cataloguing each item to help to keep the memory of his grandfather alive.
Toolshed Journal is a beautifully designed journal, featuring three different stocks and 40 illustrations (both full-page and details) drawn from Lee John Phillips’ attention-grabbing Shed Project.
With a page of stickers and a mixture of illustrated and blank pages to write on.
The Toolshed Colouring Book is perhaps the first colouring book aimed at sheddies, and features 50 illustrations from Lee John Phillips’ Shed Project.
The books are out on 23 Sep 2016
