Broken Wrist Project: Book 1 [Paperback] Broken Wrist Project

Description

INSOUND FAVORITE. Broken Wrist Project originated as an artist collective in Los Angeles in the late 1990’s. The group was formed to both mobilize and promote the efforts of a creative syndicate of painters, illustrators, and designers, all working in close proximity to one another and sharing similar sensibilities and aesthetics. The result of the collaboration is The Broken Wrist Project Book Series, a hybrid format that blurs the line between street-level art books and literary journals. The cornerstone of the series is the comprehensive resurrection of the illustrated short story, an artform that is sadly and quietly dying within the pages of America’s periodicals and journals. Full color, devoid of any advertising, political commentary, or editorial grousing. Broken Wrist is simply interested in telling stories, developing characters, and finding the most qualified artists to create the most dynamic images. BWP ONE features writing by James Hughes, Aesop Rock (Definitive Jux recording artist) and Dave Tompkins (a regular contributor to Urb, The Wire and Mojo). Artwork by Fabrizio Moretti (the Strokes), Kevin Christy, Rich Jacobs, Jeff Soto, Derek Lerner, Jason Jagel, Tobias Schalken and Taylor McKimens.
