worrying and the book a masterpiece of its type." Art Monthly I spent 5 years collecting and researching Noggins, amassing a small army of wooden Viking warriors. With an artists eye for detail and the passion of an obsessed collector, this unique book provides a fascinating look at Noggins and their close relatives. The book was printed on digital stencilprinters the modern day descendents of Roneo/Gestetner duplicators at Knust, Netherlands, this labour- intensive printing method gives a unique rustic print quality. Stencilprinters aren't designed for colour printing - full colour printing pushes their capabilities to the extreme |
Noggins are handmade Viking figures with wooden bodies and furry beards - they are both warlike and cute - fluffy but ready for a fight. They originated as Scandinavian tourist souvenirs and a thousand years after the original Vikings, Noggins set out from Scandinavia, invading peoples homes and settling on knick-knack shelves round the world! NOGGINS+ has 22 pages of full colour Viking figures, many duotone images, Anatomy of a Noggin diagram plus informative & amusing text and comments on individual figures. 44 pgs, softback. perfectbound, 18 x 27 cm. 1200 copies, 2001. |
