Small Sampling of Kelly's Favorite Books (while she is teaching at Stampers Warehouse in Danville):


John Copeland's catalog is like holding a small treasure in your hand. Like the amazing Juliana Coles, he was a student of the fabulous Barron Storey. Yet each has their own style. I get goosebumps just thinking of the artwork. Raw. In your face. Honest. Extreme. Layered. Just some of the words that I think of when describing his work. I am eagerly awaiting a second volume.

Aline Kominsky Crumb interview here.

The latest issue of 3 x 3 is available. I was at Barnes & Noble on Tuesday (buying Anne Lamott's new book) and picked it up. It's $19 and one to see before you buy....

*****
I didn't buy this but I am hoping to soon!! If it didn't have a $40 price tag, I would've snatched it up as it has not only Barron Storey but David Choe, James Jean and more in it...I am hoping it is still at the store when I go back...

*****
Latest issue of Juxtapoz is out. Lots of yummy artwork and glimpses into an artists' studio...YUM. $5 ya can't go wrong. Skip the coffee and grab the magazine instead!

I'm leaving for Danville in an hour. I will try to check email if I can but will be updating my blog daily (either David, Tristan or ME will be doing it). Have a great weekend and stay tuned for more books...

UPDATE: From a story I posted a couple of weeks ago from Democracy now on KEVIN. Kevin is free but there are still over 200 children (and their parents) detained in Taylor, TX.
