Pre-order: Frankey: Positive Disruption

This is not a book, it's a piece of art.


In Frankey’s universe, there’s no such thing as imperfection or correct thinking. A crack in a wall is not a flaw but an invitation to exercise creativity: a void begging to be filled with something colorful and uplifting. A cartoon character leaves its two-dimensional space and rewrites its own storyline, only to wander off to the most unexpected of places: someone’s house, the sidewalk, the top of a building, an exhibition, a hotel.

Sometimes absurd, always playful—each of his pieces is certain to leave you grinning from ear to ear, adding a touch of child-like magic to your everyday. Frankey's mind is something else: a kind of a-linear, cross-referential supermachine, producing creative thoughts at hyperspeed. His first artist book is browsable in the exact same way; it takes you on a wild and wonky ride through his fascinating brain, even explaining his process through a mini booklet that pops up out of nowhere. 

As you travel from page to page, he grabs you by the hand and walks you through his ideas and often mind-blowing anecdotes. Compiling the majority of his work up to present day, including never before shared images and stories, this monograph packs inspiration and smiles for both rainy and sunny days. Each book contains a numbered Frankey artwork slash book inlay, making it a collectible object and truly unique gift.

Frankey’s creations are clever, imaginative and unapologetically cheerful; a manifesto for positive disruption. They’ll strike you with a jolt of surprise and excitement when you least expect it but most need it. Whether it’s his street interventions, a commissioned sculpture or a seemingly useless invention, his works encourage us to look at our surroundings and the mundane from a place of wonder and discovery.
