FIVE BOUTIQUE EDITIONS FIVE DIFFERENT THEMES FIVE DIFFERENT LAUNCH LOCATIONS FIVE DIFFERENT LAUNCH DATES NIC JOLY BeingHuman What is it to be Human? This is a question that occupies all of our minds during our lives. It has been my aim with the entire Being Human collection to tackle this question as best I can with my work. This question of Being Human is of course a deeply personal one, but we all share common ground. With this latest collection of boutique editions I have chosen to focus on five central themes of Being Human , with five different new releases, each being launched separately and available exclusively at the five shows I have coming up in the next few months. If you happen to love any of the sneak previews on the following pages, then I hope we can tempt you to a gallery location of your dreams where you can share some words of wisdom about what you think it is to be human, and determine whether we are all evolving in the right direction. FOREWORD BY NIC JOLY

WIN AN EXCLUSIVE Nic Joly gold devil pin

If you have been keeping a close eye on Nic Joly, you will have spotted that he is often wearing an exclusive golden pin. There is a story behind this little devil and why Nic made him (but you’ll have to ask the man himself!) The good news is that you could be in for the chance of winning one of these golden devil pins. If you are lucky enough to secure one of Nic’s new boutique editions at any one of these five events, you will be entered into a prize drawfor the chance to win one of five exclusive golden pins made, each with a certificate of authenticity from Nic and a cover letter revealing its provenance. Multiple purchases mean multiple entries, so if you are a Nic Joly collector then this could be your golden opportunity to own a little piece of Joly history! Good luck!

— LOVE — Title: Ascension

We all strive in our lives to reach the dizzying heights that the feeling of love gives us. With empathy, kindness, respect and honesty, love is within our reach, but we have to work at being better people. If we don’t, love is not achievable. With so much hate in the world at the moment, we all need to be reminded of what is important. .

— TEMPTATION — Title: Breaking Bad

We all suffer from temptation throughout our lives, see it for what it is; it is a fundamental part of Being Human that we can’t deny, but with strength we can overcome it if we choose. I am always reminded of a Tennessee Williams quote; “If you take away my demons, I lose my angels” .
