"PULLED: A Catalog of Screen Printing offers scores of beautiful, funny, novel and otherwise alluring typographical, illustrative, decorative and comedic silk-screen prints, produced by more than 40 illustrators and designers, whose styles and processes are as broad as this book is thick." --The New York Times Book Review, June 8, 2011
"Illustrator Mike Perry has long been a favorite at Dwell. In his new book, Perry opens the page to other screen artists in this survey of more than 40 contemporary screen printers." --Dwell.com, May 4, 2011
"Like his previous books, Pulled represents not just the potential of a specific technique, but the voices and skills of a young, global art and design culture, which is embracing the page as much as it is the computer screen, producing work that feels fresh and characterful in a field largely dominated by digital expertise." --NYLON Guys, July, 2011
"Pulled is handled with particular charm and has an ace host of artists and illustrators who, as the new generation of screen printers, says more about the process and the potential for manipulation by an artist in a work by work context." -- Itsnicethat.com, April 29, 2011
"Should go on your must-have book list... Pulled is an exhaustive reference for awe-inspiring registration (or not), happy accidents, texture, and color." -- Mintdesignblog.com, April 29, 2011

Mr. Perry has compiled a very strong cross section of screen prints reflecting a new look and feel where this generations's genre is heading.
Short on words, but long on visuals, Mr. Perry understands, that as designers, we want to see things, not read about them. His thoughtful approach to be inclusive to a variety of different styles, yet focusing on work that simply departs from the norm. His insight into the new and upcoming generation of post modernists pays big dividends to us, his audience.
In a way, this book is retro, departing from the thought that everything wonderful has to come out of a computer. Drawing, painting, and content become reintroduced in visual thought. Color, translucency, unregistered imagery are evident to the viewer to savored and sampled.
This is a great book! Michael Perry has demonstrated his ability as an editor/compiler measures up.

I can't find much to reccomend about this book. It's just a collection of printed images with minnimal info about their creation. All the work seems terribly outdated, I'll probably give the book away to the library free bin.

don't waste your time or money on this boo. It is a collection of bad made amateur "art".
but if I can't convince you.... here is a link to download it free (.pdf) and see for yourself before you buy.
[...]
If people actually buy this trash I am going to just start taking pictures of my print shops floor. then stack them up and call it a book!

A gift
Inspiring images for my husband's new pursuit of silk screening. There are some great how-to shots, which seem to appeal to him, since he's just starting out.
