His silkscreens are pulled in small runs and are collected as eagerly abroad as at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis copy is from the first printing of 7 April 2014; a second followed that August, and no further printing is planned. It was ordered on publication and has stayed sealed ever since, so the devil-girl cover and the heart-shaped pin-up on the back are as fresh as the day it left the press.
