Honey Pool

I know I've said it before, but it really can't be said too many times... Mel Kadel is the bee's knees. And while the growing demand for her original works on paper are rapidly pricing her artwork out of our hands, you can still get your grubby mitts on some handmade Kadel goodness for less than a case of imported beer. But you had better get on it quick because the Mel bandwagon is getting pretty packed.

Honey Pool is the follow-up to last year's blockbuster, Rough Cookie, and much like The Empire Strikes Back to Star Wars, this sequel amazingly tops an already legendary original. Similar to Rough Cookie in many regards, Honey Pool features 40 pages of Mel Kadel's beautiful pen and ink artwork on coffee-soaked papers. Both figurative and decorative, this book is hand printed by the artist herself in full color on coffee-soaked paper, with a 4-color screenprinted cover. Each book is signed by the artist and limited to a first (and I believe only) edition of 100.

All of my glowing praise of Rough Cookie (read the review here), applies to Honey Pool, only even more so. The amount of labor that went into the construction of this book, not to mention the artwork it features, is just staggering. The fact that it is being sold for only $24 is ridiculous. I sincerely hope that Mel never wises-up and starts to charge and appropriate amount for her publications, cuz I'm hooked and I would surely pay whatever she asked.







You basically only have one chance to own this book, and that is right here and right now. We here at Rowan Morrison have been fortunate enough to have been given the opportunity to sell about a fifth of the edition of Honey Pool... and we are just about sold out.

And if you are a real Kadel fan and not just some poser, you will also want to own her limited edition serigraph, "Power Like A Flower", offered exclusively from Rowan Morrison.
