Description

This is Dave Eggers's first collection of drawings, most of which are unusual mammals, most often accompanied by slogans with ancient, heroic, or just plain odd overtones. A combination of large-sized (11" x 17") prints and an accompanying booklet, this package will appeal to fans of Eggers's prose, as well as enthusiasts of the still-evolving genre of art that combines drawings and off-kilter text.
