Step into the imaginative world of legendary designer, antiquarian and decoupage artist John Derian with his latest book, John Derian Picture Book II. The follow-up to his 2016 bestseller, John Derian Picture Book, this impressive tome is filled with 375 full-bleed images from Derian’s expansive and ever-growing collection of 18th- and 19th-century illustrations and calligraphy, which he uses to create his beloved line of curious housewares and decoupaged goods. Within these pages, you’ll find a myriad of unique and wonderfully weird vintage images — think naturalist illustrations featuring all manner of flora and fauna; dreamy depictions of planets, constellations and celestial events; striking typefaces and handwritten text; breathtaking land and seascapes; mysterious portraits and narrative paintings; hundred-year-old art class assignments; beautiful antique prints and patterns; and so much more. A work of art in and of itself that’s sure to spark many a creative idea, John Derian Picture Book II would be great laid out on the coffee table for an instant conversation starter or as a gift to the vintage-lover in your life.  •by John Derian•foreword by Frances McDormand •hardcover •368 pages Dimensions:•11.25"W x 1.5"D x 14.25"H CA Residents: Prop 65 Warning >
