the rest is up to you


The Rest Is Up to You: A Collaboration Between 118 Artists and a Boy Named Cohen Morano

description from the popdeluxe website

The Rest Is Up to You -- Like many kids, third grader Cohen Morano likes to watercolor. What's different about Cohen's paintings is that his father, Aye Jay, sends them out into the world to be embellished and altered by a stellar roster of artists and illustrators. The resulting collaborations between Cohen and a host of hip partners—including Gary Baseman, Shepard Fairey, Paul Frank, Barry McGee, Chris Ware, and Mark Ryden—form a striking and playful body of work. The Rest Is Up To You conveys a sincere message about the importance of making art with children. Families and art buffs alike will be inspired by what Cohen and his heroes have created.

Nine-year-old Cohen Morano has been making collaborative art since the age of 2.
