Analogue is proud to announce the release of the first book by Irish born illustrator/artist/designer and all-round bad speller, Nigel Peake.
Peake first wandered through the doors of our bookshop 6 years ago with a pile of drawings under his arm. Since then we have had the pleasure to work with him on zines, signage, screenprints, t-shirts and more recently, a solo exhibition in our gallery space.
'Sheds' contains 32 pages of Peake's recent work inspired by a fascination with primitive structures, travels in China and a recent cycling trip around Europe drawing barns, sheds and grain silos. Peake's style of drawing is characterised by amazing detail and beautifully muted colours.
Peake studied architecture at Edinburgh University, with his final thesis receiving a commendation in the Silver Medal awarded by the Royal Institute of British Architects. During and after his studies he has worked for Coldcut (Ninjatune), EMI, Eastpak, Automaton Snowboards, Ubiquity, Antiz and Andy Howell. With works published in Arkitip, Blueprint, Lodown, Creative Review, Digit, Dazed and Confused and Map Magazine. Most recently he has worked as a design tutor at the Architecture School at Edinburgh University while also working on a series of prints and billboards for Scotland's Six Cities Design Festival, the summer '08 collection for Habitat and on the artwork for the Kill Your Timid Notion music festival.
Some of his influences are: bridges, pens, different paper, colour, churches and cathedrals, notebooks, lists, benches, trees, magicians, beaches, sheds, silence, National Geographics, misunderstanding things, typing, freshly cut fields, graveyards, projections, stones and bark and night time.
