The Birth of Rockin' Jelly Bean, the artist's large-format monograph from Wani Magazine, 2014, 239 pages of posters and paintings behind his devil-girl cover.
The Piece
Rockin' Jelly Bean is the Japanese painter behind the Erostika label, whose pin-up heroines, hot rods and masked wrestlers borrow the language of 1960s exploitation posters and garage-rock flyers. His silkscreens are pulled in small runs and are collected as eagerly abroad as at home.
The Birth of Rockin' Jelly Bean is his large-format monograph, published by Wani Magazine in April 2014: 239 pages and 32 cm (12.6 in) tall, gathering two decades of his posters, record sleeves and paintings.
The cover shows one of his devil girls with horns and a tattooed arm, sipping a tropical drink in front of flickering flames, and the back carries a heart-shaped pin-up and his signature logo. Inside, the work runs from early flyers to the Erostika silkscreens that made his name, and the book is now out of print.
