Evan Hecox's Urban Abstract

Posted on February 22, 2008 Under Books

You may have heard the name Evan Hecox pop up on this site once or twice. Frankly we’ve always known the guy makes a killer skateboard graphic for Chocolate, but he’s come into his own as an artist. Hecox’s new book, Urban Abstract, showcases his way with familiar ethnic cityscapes (from the Barrio to Chinatown) touched off by bright, solid colors. 162 pages are faithfully reproduced linoleum block prints, and thirty-two of the books are housed in a handmade, laser etched wood box as a limited-edition offering. If you’re in the Dallas area next Friday, February 29th, head down to Design Within Reach and pick up a copy for yourself.
