When my son Leo was born, my then neighbor – artist Mike Lash – decided to create a series of paintings based on some of the not-quite-facts that adults tell children to help them make sense out of the universe. He called the series ‘Lies for Leo’, and asked me to design the accompanying book. Mike’s style is intentionally child-like and so I decided to adopt the board-book format, similar to the ones I read to Leo before bed… over… and… over. Here are some photos from the current gallery exhibition in Hong Kong.
The real kicker is to see Leo in the Hong Kong press. There’s also a thumbnail of the book, which I am awaiting a copy of.
