Description
No place, 2015. Original illustration for Deep Dark Fears, Fran Krause's popular crowd-sourced series of comics: "I try not to pick my nose while driving. / I worry that I'd get into a crash, / and I'd fatally poke my brain, / and everyone would know how I died." Animator and cartoonist Krause first depicted his own fears as a webcomic on his 2011 Tumblr page. Eventually, readers began submitting their own fears, from embarrassing death scenarios to moments of existential dread, which Krause collected into a 2015 book and a 2017 sequel, The Creeps. A fine example. Watercolor and ink on paper, measuring 12 x 9 inches (sheet size). Signed and dated 5-11-2015 in ink; captioned "Deep Dark Fears #178" and signed again in pencil to lower right margin.

Description
New York: Soho News, 1981. Original poster for a performance by Steve Reich and Musicians, Philip Glass, Sun Ra, John Ashbery, Paul Jacobs, and others on May 27, 1981. An important moment for modern classical music. This concert coincided with the unveiling of a new music programming policy at New York's WNYC, at that time the "broadest commitment to modern music made to date by any classical music station in the country." The performance brought together Reich and Glass, but also avant-garde jazz composer Sun Ra, poet Ashbery, choreographer Lar Lubovitch, and percussionist/sound designer David Van Tieghem. 11 x 17 inches. Near Fine with some age-toning and minor wear at the edges.

Very Good+
Description
New York: The John Day Company. Very Good+. (c.1940). 3rd impression. Hardcover. (no dust jacket) [a good sound copy, light wear to extremities, a teensy bit of fraying at the base of the spine]. (B&W photographs, endpaper maps) INSCRIBED and SIGNED on the half-title page: "with / Best Wishes to / John, E J Waddell / From / [Eskimo characters] / Anauta"; with additional inscription in the same hand: "with the compliments of your friend / Will J. McEwen," with a Marion IN address (in a very different hand) added. [See second scanned image with this listing.] Per Wikipedia, the subject of this book "was an Arctic author, memoirist and lecturer [who] is best known for [this book], which may be the first book-length autobiography of an Inuk." Born on Baffin Island circa 1890, she moved around a bit before settling in Indianapolis around 1920; with the help of a newspaper cartoonist, she began to hit the lecture circuit in 1929, where she was billed as "the only Eskimo woman on the American platform." Of this book, a collaboration with children's author Washburne, Wikipedia writes that "the story was certainly embellished for a white audience, with Blackmore claiming to have been adopted and rasied by an Inuk woman." The book contains a page presenting the Baffin Island Eskimo alphabet, and a 3-page glossary of Eskimo words. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that signed copies of this book are highly uncommon. (Please excuse the wavy lines in the scanned image of the book's cover; this is a function of my scanner, and are NOT present on the book itself.) Signed by Biographee .
