To commemorate the Swords x Stones capsule collection for Fall 2009, Lifetime's Book No. 7 is art directed by our friend and long time contributor, Niall McClelland. Similar to the pieces that he created for Swords and Stones, and his graphic studio work under the same name, Niall's interpretation of book no. 7 heavily references medieval historical fiction and the use of basic tools to illustrate those concepts. From the titles to the images of methodically-folded xeroxed paper, the tone of the latest Lifetime book resonates a darker, simple yet striking tone.
To accompany Niall's art direction, Lifetime's Book No. 7 also includes the following features:
Artismo with Winter Gallery by Niall McClelland and Jeremy R. Jansen
Photography with Jody Rogac
Scribe with Thoroghbred by Melissa Thompson
Musica with Lighting Dust
Snowshred with Spencer O'Brient
Skateboard with Bradley Sheppard
Community with Capilano College and Ben Tour
We hope you enjoy the latest book and thanks to everyone who continues to make this possible.
