“This eerily beautiful picturebook is at once nostalgic, futique, and a testimony to our evolving cyborg reality. Art-goers new and old will not be able to look away.”
–D. Harlan Wilson
We’re excited to release this sublime, large format edition, AFTER HOPPER, featuring over fifty full color collages by artist Norman Conquest.
Here’s a peek:
AFTER HOPPER is, in part, an homage to American Painter Edward Hopper, with original, surreal, and ironic images to haunt your imagination. Using both traditional cut-and-paste collage techniques, as well as cutting edge AI tools, Norman Conquest paints a fresh absurdist portrait of the past and present.
Better not answer it, you never know who’s calling. Wait until the shadows pass. It’s safer in the light. John Nickle is a master of shadows. With colored pencils and acrylic paint he has created moody crime scenes for novels by the likes of Ross MacDonald, James Swain, Sjöwall and Wahlöö, and many others. He’s well known for his distinctive, cinematic style—creepy and comic. A dark sense of humor lies just beneath the surface like a hastily buried corpse. 
Even the artist’s popular children’s illustrations posses sinister overtones. Then again, it’s a dangerous world out there. 
Black Scat Books proudly announces a limited edition collection of John Nickle’s best cover art and illustrations produced over the past 25 years—Nickle Noir: The Art of John Nickle—featuring a revealing introduction by the artist and full color reproductions. 144 pages to die for.
