Book Description
LG WILLIAMS's place among the great emerging artists of this last decade is firmly established. These thirty-two poems, written over a period of six weeks, show conclusively that his work is remarkably original, versatile and powerful. He writes poignantly of things he cherishes - art, women, sex, drugs and rock-and-roll. Whatever his subject, he addresses it with an artist's resonant sophistication, a scholar's precision, and the persuasive powers of a great poet. This volume has been selected by Jenny Saybaugh, literary critic and one-time visiting professor at the University of California, Davis. "To read LG is not to agree or disagree with his strange sensibility, but rather to enter the enchanting moments of a fertile imagination." - Don Ryan, Surfer. "Ranging from near to far, these remarkable passionate writings...function as a savvy handbook into one of the best minds of a generation." - Wally Hedrick, Artist.

Book Description
E Pluribus Venom collects a large body of work produced by Shepard Fairey and presented at the Jonathan Levine Gallery during his massive exhibition in the summer of 2007. The title, which translates Out of many, poison is derived from E Pluribus Unum (out of many, one) an early motto adopted by the U.S. Government which appears on U.S. currency. The artists thesis is that many becoming one, or a loss of power and influence of the individual in favor of homogeny is a symptom of a society in decline. The book is comprised of artworks designed to question the symbols and methods of the American machine and American dream and also celebrate those who oppose blind nationalism and war. Some of Faireys works use currency motifs or a Norman Rockwell aesthetic to employ the graphic language of the subjects they critique. Other works use a blend of Art Nouveau, hippie, and revolutionary propaganda styles to celebrate subjects advocating peace.

Book Description
A new volume in the PCP Press 'Editions Du Piràtes' poetry series explores Pettibon's Twitter poetry, written between November 27, 2012 - July 28, 2016.Appearing for the first time in a PCP Press paperback edition, my fists r free combines 186 Twitter poems from Pettibon's Twitter account. Included are such favorites as "More Oral?", "I play golf w/Truympf n OJ. Both cheaters" and "Balls Don't Lie," along with the usual Pettibon dazzle of satirical exposition, love poems, and syntactical provocations.In the landmark volume of Raymond Pettibon's monumental Twitter masterpiece, the character Raymond Pettibon moves to Twitter, where, having left his wife, he leads a solitary artistic existence. He strikes up a deep friendship with other Twitter followers, including Nietzschean intellectuals and baseball fanatics. He also tracks down major and minor figures of Western Civilization and Culture, past and present, who fascinates him deeply.my fists r free is at heart an art love story―the story of Petition falling in love with his artistic gifts. But this poetry also tells other stories: of becoming a father, of the turbulence of family life, of outrageously unsuccessful attempts at creative vacations, of the emotional strain of art gallery parties for art admirers, and of the daily frustrations, rhythms, and distractions of city life keeping him from (and filling) his gifts.This landmark publication is a brilliant work that delivers on the unlikely promise that many hundreds of pages later, readers will be left breathlessly demanding more from this unrivaled American poet. Raymond Pettibon (born Raymond Ginn; June 16, 1957, in Tucson, Arizona) is an American artist who lives and works in New York City. Pettibon came to prominence in the early 1980s in the southern California punk rock scene, creating posters and album art mainly for groups on SST Records, owned and operated by his older brother, Greg Ginn. He has subsequently become widely recognized in the fine art world for using American iconography variously pulled from literature, art history, philosophy, and religion to politics, sport, and sexuality. Lawrence Graham Williams III (born LG Williams; April 1, 1969, in Shell Knob, Missouri in The Ozarks Mountains in Northeastern Arkansas) received his B.A. from The Kansas City Art Institute, M.F.A. from University of California, Davis, and Honorary Ph.D. from Institute of Subversive Art and Analysis (ISSA), Cedar Rapids, IA.

Book Description
For four decades, the legendary painter Wayne Thiebaud taught, passionately, at the University of California Davis, until retiring aged 70. As a teacher, Thiebaud had introduced thousands of undergraduates to the delights of great art and art making. Thiebaud still refers to exercises he would assign his students when explaining the dynamics of his own works. Here, collected for the first time, are student records of Thiebaud's famous lectures, which include Beginning Drawing, Descriptive Drawing, Life Drawing, Beginning Painting, Printmaking, and Theory and Criticism. These lecture notes are, apart from everything else, delightful and vibrant. They are concrete, efficient, not the wanderings of an imported academic star who takes class off early to get to the tennis courts.

Book Description
“In the concluding volume of his psychological biography of Hank Williams, author Paul R. Nail, Ph.D., puts readers inside the famous country singer’s mind, as Hank navigates the tormented ‘lost highway’ of his final two years. “From the heady heights of his skyrocketing career at the beginning of 1951, to the depths of his tragic demise in the back seat of his chauffeur-driven Cadillac in the early morning hours of New Year’s Day 1953, this extensively researched and highly insightful final book of a three-volume biography is a seismic addition to the study of Hank Williams’s short life that ended at age 29. “I highly recommend it to everyone fascinated by the Hillbilly Shakespeare.” – Carl Eddy, noted Hank Williams expert, singer, songwriter, guitarist, and author

Book Description
2nd Edition Special Anniversary Black & White Edition THE PHILOSOPHY OF OBEY (i.e. Obey Giant / Shepard Fairey) is one of the fundamental texts of 21st Century aesthetics - short, bold, candid, puzzling and remarkable in its power to stir the imagination of philosophers and artists alike. Arguably one of the most compelling works of philosophy and art written in the twentieth-first century, Philosophy of Obey is the only artistic - philosophical work that Obey has published during its campaign. Written in short, carefully crafted sentences of extremely revealing candor, it will capture the imagination of a generation of Street Artists and philosophers. For Obey, discourse is something we use to examine reality which is in itself both elusive and unobtainable. Obey famously summarized this book in the following words: I aim to bring something new to every artwork. The work is prefaced by Sarah Jaye Williams introduction to the first edition. Obey Giant (1989 2008) is regarded by many as one of the most significant street art campaigns. This book is a work of theoretical philosophy, contemporary art, and contemporary art history. Any illegal activity or actions deduced or derived from this work is entirely inappropriate and beyond the scope and intent of either the author or publisher. # # # # #
