Description

The 2006 Pop Ink product catalogue merges low art and high design into an infinite visual universe that includes happy kittens, goth zombies and wallpaper dolls. Our goal is to create saccharine sweet, slightly disturbing yet strangely compelling art and artifacts for the (post)modern world. Pop Ink products are the result of over two decades of work by Charles S. Anderson Design and are produced in collaboration with French Paper and Laurie DeMartino Design.

Juror Notes

“With a seemingly endless number of juxtapositions to discover—from low art to high design, from Paris to Minneapolis—this catalogue presents products with unfettered whimsy.”
