Publisher's Synopsis
Tomorrow's Man, Lynn Valley 9, combines familiar imagery from American photographer Jack Pierson's (born 1960) vast archive--portraits, vintage Physique magazines, celebrity promo shots and oddball ephemera--with work from an eclectic range of contributors such as Andy Warhol, Mark Morrisroe, David Carrino, Florence Derive, Alex Jovanovich, Dan McCarthy, Ryan Sullivan, Evan Whale, Jeff Elrod, Hugo Guinness, Jimmy Paul, Channing Tatum, Richard Tinkler and others, as well as a short story by Veralyn Behenna entitled "The Lobster." Utilizing an unconventional design layout in which imagery has been dropped in with a complete disregard for page breaks and centerfolds, this compendium quickly establishes itself as something other than a straightforward photo book: its scrapbook-style design and diverse imagery presents Pierson as an inventive, irreverent editor and bookmaker with a great eye for unexpected, fun juxtapositions.
