The San Francisco Center for the Book publishing program, invites on their Small Plates series selected artists and writers to create books of a specific size and theme for quarterly release each year. For 2009, books are 4" square and devoted to the theme of anatomy. The first project I have been lucky to work with is God's Femur by artist and illustrator Ward Schumaker.
The book is available through the Imprint of SFCB Etsy shop. You also can contact Colleen Stockman at imprint@sfcb.org or call (415) 565 0545.
Ward Schumaker’s work has appeared in over 150 periodicals, including the Los Angeles Times, New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, New Yorker, Esquire Japan, and Le Figaro. He has illustrated two limited edition letterpress books for the famed Yolla Bolly Press: Two Kitchens in Provence by MFK Fisher, and Paris France by Gertrude Stein. His work on the Stein book won a silver medal from the Society of Illustrators. He has received awards from the AIGA, CA Illustration/Design Annuals, Print Magazine, Graphis and American Illustration. His work has been the subject of articles in Communication Arts, Print, Step-by-Step, Design Journal (Korea), and Portfolio (Japan). With the Smithsonian Institution, Cooper Hewitt, National Design Museum in New York, he received a Federal Design Achievement Award. The artist lives and works in San Francisco with his wife, artist Vivienne Flesher. This year's Small Plates series will also include books by Emily McVarish, Daniel Gonzales, and Emory Douglas.
