Trashures

Rubbish Rocks! For those who have an eye for it, there is beauty in everything, from rubbish to plain useless stuff. Designer Anja Brunt and illustrator Tineke Meirink have always been intrigued by the beauty of the mundane.

For BIS Publishers, they both created a memory game, and now they join forces for a combination celebration and DIY book on rubbish art. The popularity of urban art, recycling, rubbish art, and the whole Make culture inspired them to create a book that showcases recent works by international artists who work with useless things and provides the reader with step-by-step instructions to create their own artwork in the spirit of these artists.

The book features fifteen international artists from various countries who work with rubbish, showcases some of their projects, and includes a DIY spread for a project by each artist.

Anja Brunt is a designer who published with BIS the Make a Face Memory Game, which is full of funny faces created with everyday materials. Tineke Meirink is an illustrator who created for BIS the Can You See What I See Memory Game, where she gives a whole new meaning to pictures of everyday objects by adding small sketches to them.
