Neverlasting Miracles
I just received my contributor's copy of this phenomenal book, full of the most gorgeous weird art by my friend Todd Schorr. My part in it was tiny, just a small essay on the art. But I am extremely proud to be connected in any way with this genius work.A perfect gift for yourself or other weirdos!

Dali’s CHAOS AND CREATION
