THE SIGHTSEER'S COMPLEMENT is now available for purchase.
A lavishly illustrated volume presenting the work of 22 renowned international cartoonists and writers creating pornographic works under a nom de plume. The book is intended as an homage to The Traveller's Companion, the series of cheaply-produced paperbacks edited by Maurice Girodias and his Paris-based publishing house Olympia Press, resulting in the publication of Henry Miller, Lawrence Durrell, Anaïs Nin, William S. Burroughs, Terry Southern, Vladimir Nabokov, Samuel Beckett and other much less reputable authors. Olympia's output was one that was equal parts smut and art. The Sightseer's Complement is small so that it may be carried about on a walk or on the subway, with great ease.

The N-Word, a new collection of paintings by the artist Peter Williams — published by Rotland Press and with contributions by writers Lynn Crawford and Bill Harris — does the opposite: it lays out a response to systemic violence against people of color by the police in graphic and direct terms.
