BLACK EYE is a collection of black and white eyeball-themed illustrations by 24 international artists. All the artists who contributed to this project are deeply rooted and well known in their respective professions of tattooing, graffiti and illustration.
The concept for BLACK EYE began early in 2015 when the books author, publisher and contributing artist Kev Grey invited a variety of artists to create a new and exclusive artwork of an eyeball, the idea being that each individual artist would interpret the invitation differently and depict the image of an eyeball in their own unique, individual style while at the same time there would be continuity and solidarity throughout the book by having a strict black and white only rule for all submissions.
BLACK EYE is also the follow-up title to The Cranium Stockpile - a 56-page book released in 2014 for which Kev Grey sent the same medical illustration of a skull to 24 international artists with the invitation to create a black and white illustration inspired by it. Some of the contributing artists featured in The Cranium Stockpile included Ghost RIS, Liam Sparkes, Richard ‘French’ Sayer, Poch, Mark Riddick and Mitch O’Connell.
