The talented Vancouver based graphic designer Chris Allen (also Art Director of Inventory magazine), just informed me he started his own publishing company called Ikigai.
The first title Front Lines is a catalogue which accompanied an exhibition in Toronto by the same name and was held during the CONTACT Photo festival.
Inspired by Robert Capa’s indelible scenes of the first ‘media war’, Front Lines is the result of a collaboration between photographer Brendan Meadows and Militaria collector Matthew Robinson that pays tribute to the soldiers who fought so bravely and encountered such tragedy in the Spanish Civil War. The project focuses on the camaraderie that emerged between these soldiers, giving a human face to their tragic misfortunes.
