Book Description
Writing exercises and creativity advice from Barry's pioneering, life-changing workshop The award-winning author Lynda Barry is the creative force behind the genre-defying and bestselling work What It Is. She believes that anyone can be a writer and has set out to prove it. For the past decade, Barry has run a highly popular writing workshop for nonwriters called Writing the Unthinkable, which was featured in The New York Times Magazine. Syllabus: Notes from an Accidental Professor is the first book to make her innovative lesson plans and writing exercises available to the public for home or classroom use. Barry teaches a method of writing that focuses on the relationship between the hand, the brain, and spontaneous images, both written and visual. It has been embraced by people across North America—prison inmates, postal workers, university students, high-school teachers, and hairdressers—for opening pathways to creativity. Syllabus takes the course plan for Barry’s workshop and runs wild with it in her densely detailed signature style. Collaged texts, ballpoint-pen doodles, and watercolor washes adorn Syllabus’s yellow lined pages, which offer advice on finding a creative voice and using memories to inspire the writing process. Throughout it all, Barry’s voice (as an author and as a teacher-mentor) rings clear, inspiring, and honest.

Inked
Author: Joe Dator
Publisher: Turner Publishing Company

Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 386
Book Description
"Joe Dator makes me laugh. Everybody loves to look behind the scenes and his new book shows the secrets, inspirations, heartaches, and triumphs of a life in cartoons. Christopher Guest and I have a collection of original cartoons, and we love our Joe Dator!" —Jamie Lee Curtis From inspiration to conception and all the trials in-between. Inked is a collection of cartoons from one of the New Yorker’s most beloved cartoonists. Filled with more than 150 of Dator’s single-panel cartoons, this lively, quick-witted book betrays a deadpan sense of humor. But Inked is more than a book of cartoons. Dator also dives into the creative process, offering bonus commentary on how ideas have come to fruition, how one idea has led to another, and the various attempts to get an idea right. Along the way, he shows how a spark of imagination has turned into a laugh-out-loud moment with only a single image and caption, and how other attempts have found themselves on the cutting-room floor.

Playing Changes

Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 1101873493
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
One of the Best Books of the Year: NPR, GQ, Billboard, JazzTimes In jazz parlance, “playing changes” refers to an improviser’s resourceful path through a chord progression. In this definitive guide to the jazz of our time, leading critic Nate Chinen boldly expands on that idea, taking us through the key changes, concepts, events, and people that have shaped jazz since the turn of the century—from Wayne Shorter and Henry Threadgill to Kamasi Washington and Esperanza Spalding; from the phrase “America’s classical music” to an explosion of new ideas and approaches; from claims of jazz’s demise to the living, breathing scene that exerts influence on mass culture, hip-hop, and R&B. Grounded in authority and brimming with style, packed with essential album lists and listening recommendations, Playing Changes takes the measure of this exhilarating moment—and the shimmering possibilities to come.

Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 156
Book Description
Feggo is the nom de plume of Felipe Galindo G mez, an award-winning Mexican artist who since 1983 has lived and worked in New York City.

Feggo by Marissa Acocella Marchetto "Felipe's work is not only good humored but good hearted and guaranteed to lift your spirits!" -Gahan Wilson "Felipe's cartoon art is absolutely unique and among the most creative I have seen anywhwere. The humor in his drawings is most often conveyed without falling back on the crutch of words or captions. I envy him that ability, because, as a cartoonist myself, I know that he has chosen the most difficult path in this art form and has triumphed."-Jack Ziegler "Ordinarily I don't use F-words, but Feggo is a Fabulously Funny Fellow."-Sam Gross "It is a rare cartoonist who appeals to such diverse readerships as the Reader's Digest, Barron's, The New Yorker and Nickelodeon, to name just a few of the magazines where the widely published Felipe Galindo's cartoons can be found. As cartoon editor of The New Yorker I especially enjoy Felipe's carefully constructed sight gags, whose wordless humor unites all demographics in laughter." -Bob Mankoff
