| Title: Im Bored |
| By (author): Jess Rotter Foreword by: Kate Mulleavy, Laura Mulleavy |
| ISBN10-13: 0996744754 : 9780996744751 |
| A wizard paddles on a lonely sea, his flag proclaiming â Iâ m trying. â An ostrich hitchhikes in the desert, holding up a sign with her destinationâ â Bliss. â A walrus in an AC/DC shirt looks calmly at the viewer beneath a permanent refrain of, â Iâ m bored. â â ¦ Part art book, part comic book compilation, and a skeptical but loving take on â Successoriesâ motivational posters for the office, Iâ m Bored features the whimsical, wonderfully whacked-out work of artist and illustrator Jess Rotter. Informed by a deep knowledge and love for the world of 1970s rock â nâ roll, Rotter was first inspired by her fatherâ s vinyl covers and comic books growing up. She describes her early aesthetic influences asâ â Part Peter Max, part Fritz the Catâ . Rotter launched eponymous T-shirt label, Rotter and Friends in 2006, resulting in collaborative capsule collections for The Gap and Urban Outfitters, and official band merchandising for acts such as the Grateful Dead, Yusuf/Cat Stevens, Sly Stone, Rodriguez, Big Star, Mavis Staples, Kurt Vile and more. Her art and illustrations have appeared on everything from public murals to album covers (Best Coast, Wooden Shjips, Country Funk Volumes I & II just to name a few). Sheâ s collaborated with everyone from Jack Whiteâ s Third Man Records (This Record Belongs To) to Light In The Attic Records and on projects for clients including Other Music, Converse, Focus Features, Red Bull Music Academy, and Indiewire. Her cherished â Songbird Storiesâ column is currently featured bimonthly in Lena Dunhamâ s Lenny Letter. â I created these scribbles initially from the struggle of being jaded by overstimulationâ explains Rotter of the inspiration for her first book, â itâ s about how we seek daily salvation but always have a refresh button in the back of our mindsâ ¦â Designed by the artist and with a foreword/toast by Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte, Iâ m Bored is a Gary-Larson-meets-The Muppets variety show, a terrific trip composed of recurring illustrated charactersâ ranging from walruses to wizards to life warriorsâ who are all, like the rest of us, seeking their daily salvation.

| Title: Listen to the Echoes: The Ray Bradbury Interviews |
| Sub-title: The Ray Bradbury Interviews |
| By (author): Sam Weller |
| ISBN10-13: 0996744797 : 9780996744799 |
| Acclaimed biographer and Bradbury scholar Sam Weller spent more than a decade interviewing Ray Bradbury, who admitted, â Sam Weller knows more about my life than I do. â Revealed in Weller and Bradburyâ s conversations, collected in Listen to the Echoes: The Ray Bradbury Interviews, is a vivid portrait of the author. A creative genius, an opinionated and occasionally contrarian thinker, â and a nostalgic futurist,â Bradbury longed for yesterday even as he looked toward tomorrow. During the process of conducting research for the book, noted Los Angeles photographer Zen Sekizawa photographed Bradburyâ s home and decades of his accumulated possessions. Her photographs present an alternate portrait of Bradburyâ one that is more poignant now that his personal possessions have been sold at auction and his home of more than half a century razed. Listen to the Echoes: The Ray Bradbury Interviews is the definitive collection? of interviews with this American icon, illustrated with Sekizawaâ s stunning color photographs (including previously unpublished images). Originally issued as a paperback in 2010 by Stop Smiling Books and Melville House Publishing, Listen to the Echoes is now available as a full-color, larger-format hardcover edition with a new final chapter by Weller about Bradburyâ s legacy since his death in 2012, and dozens of new photographs from the Bradbury archive. Also new to this edition are essays by Margaret Atwood and Frank Darabont. Ray Bradbury (1920â 2012), the poetic and visionary author of such classics as Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles and The Illustrated Man, was one of the most influential writers of the 20th century. Bradburyâ s sway over contemporary culture is toweringâ Mikhail Gorbachev, Alfred Hitchcock and David Bowie all counted themselves as fans, to name only a very few. Edited by J. C. Gabel Foreword by Black Francis Afterword essays by Margaret Atwood and Frank Darabont Designed by Benjamin Woodlock Original photography by Zen Sekizawa Hat & Beard Press #10 |

| Title: Manny Farber: Paintings & Writings |
| Sub-title: Paintings & Writings |
| By (author): Jonathan Lethem Edited by: Robert Polito |
| ISBN10-13: 1732056102 : 9781732056107 |
| An iconoclastic and essential voice in American film criticism, Manny Farber (1927-2008) was also a remarkably resourceful painter. This book celebrates Farber's lush visual art, showcasing his table-top still lifes crammed with personal associations, pop artifacts, and scrawled wisecracksâ a series of intimate yet indirect self-portraits, spanning decades. Samples of Farberâ s sly, brash art criticism, previously uncollected, are offered alongside film reviews, manuscript pages, school quizzes, and notes. The bookâ s editors provide essays and additional commentary; tribute and analysis are supplied by nearly two dozen other contributors, including Richard Armstrong, Olivier Assayas, Bill Berkson, Durga Chew-Bose, Anne Boyer, Moyra Davey, Josephine Halvorson, JP Gorin, Greil Marcus, Carol Mavor, Patricia Patterson, Chris Petit, Amanda Petrusich, Kelly Reichardt, Jonathan Rosenbaum, Luc Sante, Robert Storr, Gina Telaroli, Wim Wenders, Robert Walsh, and Alice Waters. The book comes on the heels of Helen Molesworthâ s exhibition at The Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles: â One Day at a Time: Manny Farber and Termite Artâ â a Farber retrospective and wide-ranging group show in which Molesworth revisited and explored Farberâ s seminal 1962 essay â White Elephant Art vs. Termite Art. â Molesworth commends Farber for embracing the glories and uncertainties of the everyday, creating work that is continually gnawing away at its own boundaries. Edited and with essays by Michael Almereyda, Jonathan Lethem, and Robert Polito. Designed by Scott Massey |

| Title: Moby-Dick: Illustrated by Gilbert Wilson |
| Sub-title: Illustrated by Gilbert Wilson |
| By (author): Robert (ed.) Illustrated by: Gilbert Wilson |
| ISBN10-13: 1732734518 : 9781732734517 |
| Hat & Beard Press is celebrating Herman Melvilleâ s 200th birthday with a full-color edition of Moby-Dick, illustrated by the rediscovered art of Gilbert Wilson. Film director John Huston declared him â a brilliant artist and one of Americaâ s foremost painters. â Pearl S. Buck sponsored an exhibition of his work in New York, and First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt wrote about his work in her newspaper column. Yet, for most of his life, artist Gilbert Brown Wilson (1907-1991) lived in relative obscurity, despite a critical splash in the 1930s. He sacrificed financial security for artistic freedom. An acolyte of Diego Rivera and an assistant to Rockwell Kent, Wilson became recognized for his gargantuan murals at Indiana State University and Antioch College, and for the controversy sparked by his â social realistâ style. But Moby-Dick became Wilsonâ s lifetime obsession, for which he produced more than 200 paintings and drawings, and helped inspire Hustonâ s 1956 film adaptation starring Gregory Peck and Orson Welles. This large, coffee-table book will showcase never-before-published artwork, notes, and meditations on the novelâ drawing from unprecedented access to Wilsonâ s estate. The book will also provide a platform for the international art community to reassess and rediscover this remarkable man and his work. The edition pays homage to Melvilleâ s original text, while breathing new life into the story via Wilsonâ s vibrant, timeless artwork. Critics have called Moby-Dick â the most ambitious book ever conceived by an American writerâ â and Wilsonâ s version will be the most ambitious illustrated edition of that book. |

| Title: SF Eyes |
| Sub-title: Hamburger Eyes San Francisco |
| By (author): Ray Potes Edited by: Allen |
| ISBN10-13: 0998723983 : 9780998723983 |
| In 2001, Ray and David Potes began producing a black-and-white zine called Hamburger Eyes. Quickly gathering traction in the photo community, the photocopied booklets rapidly evolved into a monthly magazine. Quietly based in San Franciscoâ s Mission District, the Hamburger Eyes Photo Epicenter boasted coverage of â the continuing story of life on earth,â its maxim attracting tens of thousands of cult followers, photographers, and voyeurs from around the world. Nearly two decades later, Hamburger Eyes has produced hundreds of issues and exhibited thousands of photographs in galleries across the US, Europe, and Asia. As the magazine developed into a haven for lovers of analog and print, the city surrounding its production was rapidly changing. The bastion of art and activism watched as housing markets skyrocketed. Big techâ the new gold rushâ had come to change the character of the streets themselves. While the magazine has always revealed an aesthetic narrative from page to page and photographers have previewed and exhibited their own projects within them, this book will be the first publication to hone the focus of its large catalog on one point, the city that helped to establish it. Featuring contributions from Chris Beale, Jason Roberts Dobrin, Troy Holden, Kappy, Dylan Maddux, Alex Martinez, Mark Murrmann, David and Ray Potes, Ted Pushinsky, David Root, Andrea Sonnenberg, Stefan Simikich, David Uzzardi, Tobin Yelland, and many more, Hat & Beard Press brings to you SF Eyes: The Continuing Story of Life, Loss, Tragedy, and Triumph in the City of San Francisco as Captured by the All-Seeing Lens of Hamburger Eyes Photography Magazine. This installment in the Hamburger Eyes canon chronicles San Francisco life and cultureâ what it is, what it was, and why it mattersâ from the beginning of the turn of the new century.
