Sneaky peek ... Digital proofs of Alex Barrow’s, The Squeeze Book, a mini history of the accordion in World Music. This is being printed in 5 separate Pantones, using 10 lithographic plates, to achieve that depth of colour that digital printing can never achieve. It’s having its debut at @elcafest where Alex and I are giving a talk on the book and it’s making.

📚If I had a dinosaur by Alex Barrow and Gabby Dawnay is an adorable book for any child that has dreamed of having a dinosaur as a pet! The text itself is playful as some times it is rebus style and other times flowing along the illustrations. 🦕 ⭐Published by Thames and Hudson- Available on Amazon- here's my affiliate link: https://amzn.to/2K7pzPw⭐ #ifihadadinosaur #alexbarrow #gabbydawnay #bookstagram #childrensbook #picturebook #childrensillustration #dinosaurs #pets #diversityinbooks #eyeseeme #diversebooks #1000blackgirlbooks

The Accordion Lithograph Alex Barrow Published tomorrow at ELCAF festival in a signed edition of 40. This has been printed using five separate litho plates using five pure Pantones, and the plates destroyed (recycled). This means it can never be reprinted, re-editioned, printed in different colour ways, etc, this is it! It fits an A2 IKEA type frame and It’s just been put up on my online shop.
