Book Synopsis
A selection of Risograph printed reproductions of drawings by Barcelona based Canadian artist Michael Swaney. These drawings are a fast and direct approach to the hand motif, also known from Swaney's large scale paintings. I thought we could call it Happy Hans or Happy Hands. Happy Hans was a mascot for my home town in Kimberley Bc, and he was a beer yielding yodeler in liederhosen who would appear from some window doors on a giant cuckoo clock in town. You put coins in and he comes out and sings you a little yodel. I'm not the best writer but this could be a cool homage for the hand drawings maybe. what do you think?Author: Michael SwaneyDesigner: Timo Vaittinen
