“After years of creating printed matter for clients and ourselves, it just seemed like a natural progression to extend our love of the medium to collaborating with other artists who inspire us.” - GH
Their artist series will include quarterly publications in editions of 1200, with 1000 marked for retail sales. Each book will have a unique appearance with varying content, paper, and page count and hopes to evolve towards an environmentally resourceful print process utilizing recyclable paper and natural-based inks. The first book of the series, a collection of artwork from Brooklyn illustrator J.Penry, “Castles and Christians,” will be available September 16, 2006.
GHava has produced a body of work that runs from the art direction and design of Crispin Porter + Bogusky's new book, HOOPLA, and advertising campaigns for Triple Five Soul to projects for NOKIA, Coca-Cola and Adidas. They created the initial corporate identity for Gwen Stefani's mega-label, L.A.M.B, and created the cover art for Prefuse 73's "Surrounded By Silence," which was included in The Greatest Album Covers of All Time (Scott, Grant, Barry Miles, and Johnny Morgan. New York, NY: Collins & Brown, 2005). Their fearless aesthetic and multidisciplinary approach to design resulted in GHava being cited as one of 23 "groundbreaking studios and individuals" in Infiltrate: The Front Lines of The New York Design Scene (Gelman, Alexander, Nic Musolino, Helen Walters. New York, NY: Ginko Press, 2004).
