The Alaskan

The Alaskan is the third entry in Decathlon’s planned ten volume series of artist’s books. Affordably-priced, the series uses cheap production values to its advantage, reveling in a gloriously low-res aesthetic. Japanese-born Misaki Kawai is known for her unique brand of handmade, brightly-colored psychedelic craft objets, collages and zines. At once cute and perverse, the Alaskan features photographs of off-kilter characters and everyday objects turned delirious.
