GPC NIV Bible Art Book by Eric Haze x Good Publishing Company
The GPC NIV Bible Art Book is a striking collaboration between legendary New York artist Eric Haze and the independent studio Good Publishing Company. Released in 2021 as a signed limited edition, this 14 x 17 inch hardcover merges sacred text with street-rooted visual culture. Known for his prolific contributions to graffiti, graphic design, and fashion, Haze brings a fresh interpretation to one of history’s most printed books. Each edition is personally signed by Haze and reflects his signature graffiti-informed lettering, elevating the work into a unique reference point in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. The vivid red Soft Touch cover features the gold-stamped words Holy Bible in Haze’s unmistakable typographic voice, while the inside pages preserve the full text of both the Old and New Testaments.
Design Meets Devotion in Contemporary Urban Form
Crafted with care for both content and form, the GPC NIV Bible Art Book is not just a restyling of scripture—it is a full reimagining. Inside, the paper selection is carefully divided between two tones: one for the Old Testament and another for the New, printed on ethically sourced recycled stock from global partners. Hand-pressed end pages created using brass tools introduce each section with a tactile sense of gravity, while dual grosgrain ribbon bookmarks, dyed in Italy, add a functional yet refined finish. The box design itself unfolds dramatically, revealing the words Don’t Be Afraid printed in stark white. The presentation echoes Haze’s history of bold messaging in public spaces, now brought into a deeply personal, meditative context.
Eric Haze and the Influence of Graffiti in Modern Publishing
Eric Haze emerged in the 1970s as part of New York’s pioneering graffiti scene. Alongside contemporaries such as Futura 2000 and Keith Haring, Haze pushed graffiti beyond walls and trains into the design world. His visual identity influenced album covers for the Beastie Boys and LL Cool J, branding campaigns for Nike and Stüssy, and logos that became street culture icons. In this Bible project, Haze applies the same graffiti ethos—clarity, gesture, energy—into a sacred format. Each signed copy becomes a piece of living artwork, merging spiritual study with the visual language of the streets. His custom lettering for chapter headers like Matthew is not just design—it’s a continuation of graffiti’s influence across mediums.
Collectible Significance in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork
This edition sits at the intersection of faith and artistic rebellion, making it one of the most conceptually layered releases in recent Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork history. While traditional art books often showcase reproductions, this project transforms the book itself into a complete artwork. With its rare mix of religious content, luxurious materials, and street design legacy, the GPC NIV Bible Art Book commands attention across audiences—from collectors of urban contemporary art to design-forward spiritual readers. It represents a cultural shift where the sacred and the subversive no longer oppose each other, but coexist. This is not just a book—it is a sacred object reimagined through the eyes of a graffiti icon.
