Young & Reckless

For those of you who don't know (which I imagine would be most of you) I recently released a book titled Young & Reckless through my own creative imprint called Poison Control. The book is handmade, limited-run (250 copies), and collects the work of over 25 writers, photographers, illustrators, and graphic designers from across the country.

We've already sold out of our first 125 books. And, for the past week, Michelle and I have been working into the wee hours of the night, assembling books and preparing to have some stock on hand for Art All Night, this Saturday in Lawrenceville (steeltown rawks). Anyhow, the reason I began this post was to talk about small press publishing, and how it's a tough but incredibly worthwhile and empowering gig. So, please, support your local independent book shop, zine makers, and small presses. And, at the risk of sounding like a granola-chompin' hippie, be good to one another.
