Description: This book is the result of two artists collaborating WORDS versus PICTURES. Ian McMillan writer and broadcaster and Andy Martin seasoned imagemaker poetry and prose from one – visually interpreted by the other. The result is a lavish book of ideas, oceans of notions. A mixture of the wry and the poignant rendered with the eye of a magpie.

This groundbreaking collaboration--or, as the artists would have it, this groundbreaking bout--between the well-known writer Ian McMillan and the seasoned imagemaker Andy Martin, pits McMillan's robust poetry and prose against Martin's punchy visual interpretations. The result is a lavish book of ideas, oceans of notions, a mixture of the wry and the poignant, rendered in media ranging across digital illustration, photography, found imagery and painting, ingeniously edited into a consistent, entertaining and delightful whole. Ian McMillan is a poet and broadcaster with a following in both capacities, and Andy Martin is a widely respected illustrator in many mediums whose regular contributions to UK newspapers are instantly recognizable.
