I've always been happy that there was someone as sick and twisted as I am." --George Carlin "I can think of no one more unqualified to say anything about Robert Crumb's artwork than myself. In fact, it's useless for most cartoonists of my generation to do so; without him, there wouldn't "be" any cartoonists of my generation." --Chris Ware, "The Acme Novelty Library"

Life of the Partyby: Fleener, Mary

Life of the Party
by: Fleener, Mary

Softcover. Seattle, WA, Fantagraphics Books, Reprint, 1997, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, 156 pages. Softcover. A very clean, unmarked copy. Black and white illustrations throughout by Mary Fleener. Most everyone has heard the phrase "sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll." But "sex, drugs, rock-and-roll, and comics"? You bet. In a gloriously straightforward manner, Mary Fleener illustrates her oftentimes decadent social experiences in this complete collection of her autobiographical comics work. The tableaux she weaves are a candid take on the party scene of Southern California, but what is most distinctive isn't her storytelling--it's her art. She has developed a unique style that she calls "cubismo": a blend of underground comix and cubism. She uses this style to convey changes in mental states--specifically, changes in the subjective fields of experience--whether from anger, frustration, or drug use.

Listening to Stone: Hardy Structures, Perilous Follies, and Other Tangles with Nature by: Dan Snow

Listening to Stone: Hardy Structures, Perilous Follies, and Other Tangles with Nature
by: Dan Snow

Hardcover. NY, Artisan, 1st, 2008, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket. 145 pages. A master craftsman provides timeless wisdom from working with stone. Beautifully illustrated with color and black and white photographs from the work-field. In his highly anticipated second book, Vermonter Dan Snow once again proves that he is not just one of America's premier artisans, but also one of our most articulate voices on the natural world and our relationship to it. Snow's medium is stone: He is the nation's premier drystone wall builder. Schooled in this ancient craft, he painstakingly creates structures as breathtaking as sculpture with nothing but gravity as their glue. In Listening to Stone, Peter Mauss's tactile photographs of Snow's artistry are matched by the artisan's quietly compelling prose. Clean, bright copy.
