Last night we attended a book signing party for The Exquisite Book, a project headed by  the lovely Julia Rothman. We were honored to be asked to participate in the book (see Eunice's contribution here). The signing took place at the ever fabulous Rare Device.

Inspired by the Surrealist game, Exquisite Corpse, the book features over one hundred contemporary artists (including H!L's Eunice Moyle!), each completing one page of the book.

HL-778_F_L Esther Aarts is an amazing Dutch illustrator who has done work for t-shirts, magazines, advertising and now...greeting cards! We recently collaborated with Esther on a couple cards for our Spring release and couldn't be happier with the results. For example, who doesn't love anthropomorphic beer steins cheers-ings themselves?! Or a cheerful Oompah band wishing you a happy birthday?!
