Synopsis
Blab! is an annual coffee-table showcase of fine art, illustration, and comix, and a gold- standard in the work of the professional visual arts. Most of Blab*!'s contributors through the years have gone on to huge success in the gallery world (Chris Ware, Camille Rose Garcia, Joe Coleman, Gary Baseman, etc.) and the current volume sharpens Blab*!'s cutting-edge like never before.
This volume of Blab*!* features a cover by Jonathan Rosen, and: the Blab*!* debut of popular artist Shag!; a full-color tribute to Bazooka Joe; Sue Coe and Judith Brody's " And Not a Drop To Drink," an exploration of the destruction of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast by angry gods of wind and water against a backdrop of war; Greg Clarke's "The Pungent Gaul," a surprisingly harrowing story of a Frenchman who smuggles illegal cheeses from his homeland into the United States and sells them on the black market; Michael Dougan's four-page color story about homeland security, paranoia, technology, international intrigue, and anxiety; "Nine Lives," Peter Kuper's story of the various ways he's almost died; more "Fetal Elvis" from Mark Landman; "Max Vesta, Matchbook Artist," the true story of the art and life of the unsung and little known (except to a few collectors and connoisseurs) master of the matchbook cover; Lou Brooks invites us into his "Garden of Tongue- listing Twimericks"—your mouth will never be the same; Peter and Maria Hoey's "Out of Nowhere," the story of Coleman Hawkins and Django Reinghart's years in pre-WWII Paris; plus stories by Tim Biskup, Gary Baseman, Fred Stonehouse, Marc Rosenthal, Spain, Mats!, and Sergio Ruzzier.
Blab! is conceived, edited and designed by five-time New York Festival of Advertising award-winner Monte Beauchamp.
