Known worldwide as a creative darling, Mike Perry's celebrated DIY style of hand-drawn rendering has influenced a generation of contemporary designers and illustrators. Though Perry publishes zines, runs a magazine, makes clothing, has curated three successful books and has painted, sculpted, silk-screened and drawn on anything and everything, Wondering Around Wandering is his first monograph. And, in tune with his whimsical nature, this book functions as a true artist's book. Perry has carefully designed each page of this book, placing old work next to new and sometimes even reworking old work to make it new again. Many of the pieces throughout the book have footnotes describing the inspiration, process and evolution of many artworks. Perry notes that though his work is playful and seemingly light hearted, each illustration has purpose and meanings - his works are never drawn "just because". Wondering Around Wandering builds and tells a larger story of Perry and his work - a story that illustrates wondrous creative inspiration.
