Hardback, colour and black and white illustrations, 214 pages, W230mm x H210mm
Curated by the editors of McSweeney's, this unconventional book
explores the intersection of text, humor, and illustration in art by
cartoonists, writers, musicians, and fine artists in a hilarious and
liberating mixture of high, low, and sideways.
The eye-opening selection
features nearly 200 images by more than 50 artists, including Raymond
Pettibon, David Shrigley, Kurt Vonnegut, Maira Kalman, Shel Silverstein,
Leonard Cohen, Chris Johanson, Andy Warhol, David Mamet, Tucker
Nichols, Banksy, and dozens of others.
Rounding out this beautifully
designed package are insightful interviews with many of the artists
illuminating the shared and diverget approaches they take to making this
smart, funny, and immediately engaging work.
