*WHAT?!! A NEW KEITH KNIGHT BOOK COMING IN OCTOBER?!!
yes..but this isn’t the usual collection of comics. this is a project that i’ve been working on for FIVE YEARS!! it’s called “the beginners’s guide to community-based arts”(new village press). and it’s kinda like a dummies guide for anyone interested in working with art and artists to tackle community issues and problems.
what’s nice about this book is that it’s something you haven’t seen from me before. it’s a bit more “serious”. i basically took stories that my buddy mat schwarzman culled from community-based artists from all across the country, and made them into multi-page comic strips.
but i wasn’t the only one. seattle cartoonist ellen forney and paint/graphic designer christine yap also got busy with it. and the result is really, really cool.
this book is a must-have for anyone involved with the arts, community-activism, or working with the leaders of tomorrow.
the book will be available at kchronicles.com by the end of august.

*GO SEE “MURDERBALL”!!
this is the movie i talked about when i returned from sundance earlier this year. it’s about quadraplegic rugby players.
before you say “huh?” let me state that this is the only film i’ve ever seen on www.rottentomatoes.com that has gotten a 100% rating…it’s that good..that’s all i’ll say.
