Book excerpt: Fine art, graphic design, underground comics... and zippos? The lines between art and commerce get fully rewired in this art opus documenting the history of FlameRite, the first commercial artists to recognise the potential of the Zippo lighter as canvas. Throw the cross-market appeal of Zippos in the blender with over thirty genre-destroying artists ranging in style from Robt. Williams to Daniel Clowes to Shag, and you have Scorched Art, more than just a collection, but a chronicle of a an art movement. In full-colour, the book features many out-of-print and never-before-seen models.
