5 Books to beautify your coffee table!
In my other life I am an Artist who writes books. Artbooks and short story anthologies mostly. for the first time I'm putting them all in one place for those who don't think there can ever be to much of a good thing. Enjoy:

What we have, is an encyclopedia guide, only partially comprehensible, to an alien universe. It's really an art book, but don't expect any explanations. The artwork has the odd quality of textbook illustrations, except for the magnificent color. The artist's work has been compared to Escher, and that's partly valid; the book lies in the uneasy boundary between surrealism and fantasy. available here
48 pages of a few of the girls hanging out in artist Dante Hadley's portfolio. get this one here.
26 Days 21 Tarot Cards 21 bios right here, right now.
Every now and then I wonder why I left the city where I was raised. Kind of like forgetting how painful getting a tattoo is until you start your next one. I wrote this as a reminder of why sometimes leaving home is the best and the worst thing you can do. here
54pgs of Rumours and lies about my old neighborhood. and here.

10 reasons not to nuke Largo!
I recently spent some time in Largo Florida. Finding things not to like was easy. I saw a man, bent by age, get a jay-walking ticket. This is stupid because of the lack of sidewalks in Largo. I saw a pill-head run into several parked cars, while on foot. I saw a lady use her face to stop an out of control bike. All good reasons to call in an airstrike. But I also saw, everyday I was there, the most beautiful flowers. Here are 10 of the stand-outs:

Review: Codex Katzikaki: a book of pictures by Dante Hadley
The first thing I noticed about this book was the beautiful cover. Then I noticed it had no writing on it. no title, no name. Don't ask me why.
Many of the pictures are disturbing, but most are extremely beautiful and visionary. The inventiveness that it took to come up with all these conceptions of a hypothetical land is staggering.
Some people with whom I have shared this book find me frightening or disturbing in some way. It seems to them to glorify entropy, chaos, and incomprehensibility. There is very little to fasten onto; everything shifts. Yet the book has a kind of unearthly beauty and logic to it, qualities pleasing to a different class of people: people who are more at ease with free-wheeling fantasy and, in some sense, craziness. I see some parallels between musical composition and this kind of invention. Both are abstract, both create a mood, both rely largely on style to convey content...so yeah, MastoDon likes this. Inspite of the fact this ass-monkey keeps turning the name around.
