Blab

by Monte Beauchamp

Blab 's list of contributors past and present reads like a Who's Who of the contemporary visual art world, including Mark Ryden, Chris Ware, Gary Panter, Joe Coleman, and many more. Blab is edited and designed by five-time New York Festival of Advertising award-winner Monte Beauchamp, whose work has appeared in Print, Graphis, Communication Arts and American Illustration . Under his guidance, Blab has grown from a digest-sized black-and-white fanzine he began over 10 years ago to an annual coffee-table showcase event of impeccable production values and master craftsmanship, an objet d'art that has become a standard-bearer in the world of professional graphic arts. 2001's Vol. 12 features stunning front and back covers by Christian Northeast, as well as color stories by Richard Sala, the Clayton Brothers, Northeast, Peter Kuper, Peter Hoey, Lou Brooks, Fred Stonehouse, and children's book illustrator Mike Bartolas, appearing in Blab for the first time. Blab stalwarts Gary Baseman, Drew Friedman, Spain, Blanquet, and Walter Minus are also back, along with Blab newcomer and Devo frontman Mark Mothersbaugh, who contributes a four-page color story, and several others.
