    Some personal work. My second son was born a month ago.

    Saul Ray’s birth card is a 28 page magazine.

    It celebrates beauty, flowers, typography and colours. It serves as an introduction to people and ideas we think will be valuable in his life.

    I’ve drawn these illustrations in last months in the late hours and are references to: Basquiat, The Moonlanding, The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller, Keith Haring, Saul Leiter, Saul Bass, Saul Hudson (Slash), Saul Williams, Flowers, Where The Wild Things Are, ...

    The cover is an abstraction of a wild sunflower that blooms in August. The colours are bright and most of the text is set in bold, colourful type. Printed on Munken Pure Rough, a nice paper with natural colouring and a tactile feel.
