NOGGINS+ by Mark Pawson








"Pawson rightly retains his crown as the ephemera king with this book."
Creative Review
"The scholarship is staggering, the photos of life-size Noggins quite worrying and
the book a masterpiece of its type." Art Monthly

Noggins are handmade Viking figures with wooden bodies and furry beards - they are both
warlike and cute - fluffy but ready for a fight. They originated as Scandinavian tourist souvenirs
and a thousand years after the original Vikings, Noggins set out from Scandinavia, invading
peoples homes and settling on knick-knack shelves around the world!
I spent 5 years collecting and researching Noggins , amassing a small army of wooden Viking
warriors. With an artists eye for detail and the passion of an obsessed collector, this unique
book provides a fascinating look at Noggins and their close relatives.
NOGGINS+ has 22 pages of full colour Viking figures, many duotone images, Anatomy of a
Noggin diagram plus informative & amusing text and comments on individual figures.
The book was printed on digital stencilprinters the modern day descendents of Roneo/Gestetner
duplicators at Knust, Netherlands, this labour-intensive printing method which gives a unique
rustic print quality. Stencilprinters are not designed for colour printing - full colour printing
pushes their capabilities to the extreme, consequently some pages have discrepancies/slight
mis-registration which is part of the process.
