Mike Mills: Graphics Films is the first retrospective monograph covering fifteen years of Mills' work in the fields of graphic design, film and art. The book includes album cover designs that have become part of our cultural landscape, such as work for The Beastie Boys, Beck, Sonic Youth, as well as his covers and videos for the French band Air. Also included are graphics, textiles, and t-shirts for Marc Jacobs, X-Girl, and Humans, as well as rarely seen documentation of his fine art work and worldwide exhibitions. Mike Mills: Graphics Films is also the first comprehensive overview of Mills' film work including videos for Pulp, Air, Blonde Redhead, documentaries such as Does Your Soul Have a Cold and Paperboys, selected short films, as well as his 2007 feature film Thumbsucker, which has won awards at the Sundance, Berlin, and Edinburgh film festivals. Over eleven years in the making and compiling more than 30 years worth of material, Alleged Press is pleased to announce the publication of Ed Templeton's Deformer, a multi-media scrapbook of his upbringing in suburban Orange County, California. This beautifully designed volume, entirely art-directed by Templeton himself, gives a sun-drenched glimpse of what it is like to be young and alive in what Templeton refers to as "the suburban domestic incubator". Deformer intertwines photographs, paintings, drawings, sketchbook pages, disciplinary letters from his grandfather and religious notes from his mother into a magnificent narrative of teenage isolation and social criticism. Our second book in the series is the first monograph by West Coast-based painter/conceptual artist Chris Johanson. For over a decade, Johanson has been transforming the commonplace activities of the day to day into simple stories, frozen in time for us to observe. He comments on the age of consumerism, the corporate ladder as well as modern psychological phenomena such as self-help and psychotherapy. He creates a world where nudist dancers, emotionally centered people, forest energy, abstract rainbows and “good vibes” exist next to a sinister comic edge sometimes reflecting the human experience’s darkest places. Johanson has exhibited his works worldwide including exhibitions at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art.

Marcopoulos is a Dutch born photographer who immigrated to the United States in the late 1970s. During this time he worked for Andy Warhol and through this association became introduced to an amazingly vibrant scene of artists, musicians and personalities, which he documents in this book. This was an amazing book to be a part of and is the realization of a 20-year dream by Marcopoulos to release this work from his time in New York. CLICK HERE TO ORDER THIS BOOK
