Indie Rock Fans of the World,

Today we announce the release of our second publication:  The Indie Rock Poster Book!

This book comes as a follow up to our best-selling Indie Rock Coloring Book, which was illustrated by Andy J. Miller and published by Chronicle Books in 2009. This time around, we brought back the same old team, but decided to do something a lil’ bitdifferent… Something BIGGER! With more PEOPLE, and with lots of COLOUR!

Hence, the resulting Indie Rock Poster Book was born; a collection of 30 different fine art prints, inspired by indie rock songs. How did it happen? We assembled a list of 30 of our favourite, seminal indie rock songs, and under Miller’s art direction, selected 30 cutting edge illustrators from around the world to contribute. Each was instructed to choose a song with personal resonance and render it in their own interpretative way. (See below for a full list of illustrators.) The result is a vibrant collection of art that can be enjoyed as a book or as individual pieces of art. Each print is removable and suitable for framing.

The 11″ x 14″ posters are printed on high quality cardstock and the reverse side of each includes a commentary regarding the illustrator’s artistic process and insight into what inspired them to create their piece. Proceeds from The Indie Rock Poster Book will benefit charities selected by the musicians whose songs inspired the collection.

And the illustrators are…

It has been true pleasure, collaborating with such brilliant people in order to make this happen. You owe it to yourself to buy a copy… Or at least have a wee look!

Eve was kind enough to send us an update, with some additional photos from the production process of the YBP poster project. You can see these photos below.

Also, check out this cool video that she did for ‘Apathy is Boring‘.

And, for those of you who haven’t seen the finished products, here they are!

 You can find out more about this, and other things on Eve’s website: www.eveduhamel.com.

YBP gives a warm welcome to K-OS, the newest member of the Yellow Bird family. This t-shirt (pictured below) really hits home, as K-OS is a Canadian musician, who has selected a Canadian charity. Along with Stars, Metric, Feist, and others, K-OS is an extended part of the Broken Social Scene collective. K-os has designed this t-shirt exclusively for the Yellow Bird Project, to raise money for ONEXONE.  

The fabulous promotional banner on the front page was created by Eve Duhamel. Also. be sure to check out this poster that she did for us in the same kind of style.
