Tinas lovely map illustrations are part of a new book by chronicle: ‘swell – a year of waves’

The book collects the best new wave photography. Beautiful, simple, universal, the photos trace four different swells as they hit beaches around the world. Essays on the nature of wave generation and illustrated swell maps engage the armchair wave watcher. Designed to retail beautifully in the specialty markets, Swell is a substantive, lovely gift for anyone with a vetted interest in coastline and the beach.

Violet Lemay’s third collaboration with duopress, “Doodle New York,” is now available for pre-order at amazon.com. A must-have for lovers of the Big Apple of all ages, the activity book offers 120 pages of fun doodling activities stemming from iconic New York imagery: everything from the Statue of LIberty to the Anthora (those classic blue-and-white coffee cups you get at Greek diners). Violet’s ten-year-old son Gray Fruisen contributed as well! He made five drawings of his favorite NYC buildings. The book contains several QR codes with links to additional drawings, coloring pages and activities at duopress.com, including young Gray’s five renderings. “Doodle New York,” which will be widely available this spring, is the first in a series of similar city doodle books which dupress will continue to release in the fall of 2012 and beyond. As a result, Violet is quite busy researching and assembling ink drawings of various cities throughout the world.
