New York-based Todd James (born 1969) pioneered a distinct
cartoon-based graffiti style in New York in the 1980s, working
under the name REAS and gaining the respect of both a
street-culture audience and the art and design market. He has since
produced work for the Beastie Boys, Eminem and Iggy Pop, among
others. This unique artist's book is the first publication by James
in half a decade, and collects 60 of his drawings, all created
exclusively for this volume. Bearing close resemblance to his
best-known graffiti work, each drawing is complete unto itself yet
also represents a potential painting for the future. "Yield to
Temptation" is of a piece with James' broader concerns: American
excess as represented by the forms and fictions of sexuality and
the ravages of war. James invites his audience to glamorize these
issues, even as he undercuts any assumptions about them. His
drawings have the expressive, minimal intensity of a cartoon Franz
Kline and evoke the Day-Glo era of 1970s print culture, where
"Schoolhouse Rock" crosses over into "Playboy" cartoons. "Yield to
Temptation" is being published on the occasion of James' solo
exhibition in Tokyo.
