Early work from the creator of Catland Empire and the Colour Me Busy Colouring Book.
Remarkable new talent Keith Jones joins the ranks of Julie Doucet and Marc Bell with this new "Petits Livres" book. Keith Jones once wrote, "People and Birds talk to each other and spend time doing it." This is as reasonable a description as you'll get for Keith's dense, cartoon-y people/animal-scapes. Arms twist and flail and behinds slip to the front. Keith comes from a doodle world tradition that belongs to underground giants like the aforementioned Marc Bell and Ron Rege, Jr. Another installment in Drawn & Quarterly's Petits Livres series tiny affordable art books with a comics bent.
"Jones' take on color, unconstrained by figure or line and object, sometimes forcing through all three like passing waves of radiation, would prove compelling at any size." --Tom Spurgeon, The Comics Reporter
