“Artistically Declined Press released its first book in January of 2010. Over the last seven years there have been changes, stages of evolution, but our goal remained constant: to pair great books with great design. Now the evolution of the Deerbird continues as we become a part of our friends and comrades in arms, Civil Coping Mechanisms. As we evolve with CCM our role in the landscape of independent literature will change. Over the coming years we are excited to shift our focus to nonfiction, with a passion for pop culture, from films to music and beyond. Part of this move includes the ever deepening marriage between CCM and myself. As the co-founder of ADP, I also spent seven years as the sole editor and art director for the press. Going forward I will continue my role as editor of the new look ADP imprint, but I will also take on the role of art director for CCM at large, an extension of my design work for CCM for the last few years. My passion for books remains unchanged and this is a great opportunity to continue that with a press that is known for being one of the hardest working publishers in independent literature. Now let’s go have a drink.” –Ryan W. Bradley, CCM Art Director and editor of CCM Artistically Declined
