Is it a book? Is it art? It seems to be a bit of both!

"Manifest Joshua" is an entertaining collision of painting and literature, featuring 12 paintings related in some way to the short story contained in the book. The images tell of the adventures of a humanized egg placed in various situations, that depict funny story scenes, or hint at them with wit and humor. The charming letterpress book relates a story about a doomed egg race and a potentially talking egg. The plates and story join in an interesting duo which shows the skill of the two artists to make an intriguing pictorial adventure, with titles that often hint at famous songs, groups, plays or musicals.

12 plates. One hardcover book. All contained in handmade clamshell box.
