(more of this ilk from Mr. Fish here)

Winnipeg, Canada

I’m pleased to announce that the book we designed* for my girlfriend entitled “Evelin Richter [mostly well behaved]” is now in print (40 pages, cloth-bound hard-cover).

Ev’s purpose in issuing this book is to increase exposure for her figurative sculptural ceramic work (her goal is not really to sell books). As she puts it, “While I love living and working in Winnipeg Beach, the reality is that a rural resort community that dwindles down to some 500 or so souls in wintertime simply does not have enough collectors or art buyers to put soup on the table—I’m hoping that the body of work shown in this book will help me to find gallery representation in some major urban centers… I welcome suggestions from friends and patrons in this regard.”

For anyone wishing to purchase an archival-quality hard-cover book, please let Ev know (send her an email here)… a batch of books will be available in time for Christmas giving.

•Thanks to my colleague Adrian Shum for doing the heavy lifting on the design/production!

—G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936)

(spreading, around the globe)

Keetra Dean Dixon is a vivacious, talented, young artist/designer working from an often-frazzled NYC-based workshop. The Anonymous Hugging Wall began as a 2008 installation in her native Alaska—it’s since been replicated far and wide… attesting to the popularity of her premise that the world really could use more hugs.

(I was privileged to have dinner with Keetra last night).

—Henrik Ibsen, (1828-1906)
