Nobrow Books Research

Nobrow is a book publisher that began operations in 2008. It specialises in providing a platform for illustrative art, graphic art, and also comics in the United Kingdom, and worldwide. It began operations in the middle of the financial crisis, which hit in late 2008, and managed to come out of the recession in tact, and as a very successful and popular book publisher.

The company uses a wide range of good, and fine materials, and uses a process called spot colour printing. This is where pure pantones are combined to create vibrant and colourful pieces of artwork. You can see these in the examples of artwork above.

Nobrow books are printed in runs between 1500 - 6000 copies, and their books are distributed across the world. They have a base in France, which publishes French editions of Nobrow's popular books.
They work with a good range of artists and illustrators such as Jan Van Der Veken, Jon Boam, Ben Newman, Patrick Hruby, Golden Cosmos, Stuart Kolakovic, Gwenola Carrere and Eda Akaltun. All of the prints that these artists produce are numbered and signed by the artists, before being released for sale.
Nobrow uses an interesting simple colour palette, that I will detail in depth, within a standalone future blog post.
