Book signing at Gallery Nucleus Dec 4th at 2pm

I will be having a book signing at gallery nucleus, which is super exciting!


Producing this book is something I am very proud of because I have loved books my entire life, i read a lot as a kid and still do. I find it amazing that entire experiences, adventures, whole life's work, entire bodies of knowledge or anything imaginable can be communicated from author to reader, in such a controlled method. when ben, konstantin, nate and I were creating this book, we knew what we wanted, a large book, with no text crammed full of images, a sort of visual assault, a celebration of drawing. i was inspired by the sketchbooks of heinrich kley, and other dover sketchbooks, jerome opena, katsuya terada, Igor-alban Chevalier and others. I think it was the clarity of intend that made the book so solid.




i made a video of me flipping through the book

gallery nucleus will be the exclusive online seller, starting dec 4th, if you live in the bay area and want a copy just send me an email.

Hey George,

Congratulations again on your great book published. It is so massive.

are you ever going to promote the book in Canada? Shipping is crazy expensive.
