Featuring 12 oversized prints from James Jean’s solo show at the Jonathan LeVine Gallery in January 2009, Kindling is a beautifully produced keepsake portfolio from Chronicle Books.
Queens-based designer Cardon Webb (aka Cardon Copy) took his mother’s advice: “Leave it better than the way you found it,” and redesigned and replaced hand-made neighborhood fliers around New York City.
Cardon Copy, takes the vernacular of self-distributed fliers and tear-offs we have all seen in our neighborhoods. It involves hijacking these unconsidered fliers and redesigning them, over powering their message with a new visual language. I then replace the original with the redesign in its authentic environment.
