intro

W

hen we set up Nobrow in London in 2008, we printed our first book by hand on a screen printing bed, and produced 100 lovingly-made copies. Now, as we celebrate our 10th anniversary, we are printing hundreds of thousands of books each year, and our team includes 16 staff members across our London and New York offices. They all work tirelessly alongside our brilliant artists to create the work that you enjoy when you open up one of our books. We love publishing them because we love that people love buying them, borrowing them, reading them, discussing them and sharing them.

All of the books in this year’s catalogue are beyond what we imagined might be possible when we first started Nobrow. So thank you to all of our collaborators, collectors, and everyone else who enjoys our work. We are dreaming of 10 more wonderful years!

The Mean Girls Club have been laying waste to the town for years, and Mayor Schlomo is hell-bent on their destruction. He has other plans for the town's young women... brainwashing and sexual servitude.

And so the Mayor blackmails a young mechanic, Roxy to infiltrate the Clubhouse. Torn between the Mayor's dirty threats, and her unexpected friendships with the Mean Girls, Roxy, holds the fate of the Club in her hands.

Ryan Heshka is a self-taught artist and illustrator based in Vancouver. His work is strongly influenced by antiquated comics, pin-ups and pulp magazines and has been exhibited extensively across Europe and North America.

AND SO I LAID THE FOUNDATIONS OF RELATIVITY.

IT DOES, BUT IT’S NOT ABSOLUTE.

OF COURSE, ON A HUMAN SCALE, WE DON’T NOTICE IT.

IT’S IMPERCEPTIBLE.

THIS THEORY TRANSFORMS OUR UNDERSTANDING OF SPACE AND TIME.

THE QUICKER WE MOVE, THE SLOWER TIME PASSES.

THEY ARE RELATIVE.

SO TIME DOESN’T EXIST!

TIME CAN DILATE AND SPACE CAN CONTRACT.

IMAGINE TRAVELLING THROUGH SPACE IN A SUPER-FAST ROCKET FOR TEN YEARS…

PFF. WHAT A CRAZY THEORY!

…UPON YOUR RETURN YOU WILL HAVE AGED LESS QUICKLY THAN THE PEOPLE WHO REMAINED ON EARTH.

LOOK, THIS IS THE “OLD” UNIVERSE, ACCORDING TO NEWTON.

AND HERE, THIS IS THE UNIVERSE I’M NOW PROPOSING.
