Secret Life

Secret Life

Theo Ellsworth; Jeff VanderMeer

Drawn and Quarterly
2021
sidottu
To the west: trees. To the east: a mall. North: fast food. South: darkness. And at the center is The Building, an office building wherein several factions vie for dominance. Inside, the walls are infiltrated with vines, a mischief of mice learn to speak English, and something eerie happens once a month on the fifth floor. In Secret Life, Theo Ellsworth uses a deep-layered style to interpret Nebula Award winning author Jeff VanderMeer s short story. What emerges is a mind-bending narrative that defamiliarizes the mundanity of office work and makes the arcane rituals of The Building home. When his manager borrows his pen for a presentation, a man is driven to unspeakable acts as he questions the role the pen has played in his workplace success. The despised denizens of the second floor develop their own tongue, incomprehensible to everyone else in The Building. A woman plants a seed of insurgency that quickly permeates every corner of the building with its sweet, nostalgic perfume. With deft insight, Secret Life observes the sinister individualism of bureaucratic settings in contrast with an unconcerned natural world. As the narrative progresses, you may begin to suspect that the world Ellsworth has brought to life with hypnotic visuals is not so secret after all; in fact, it s uncannily similar to our own.

Banksy

Banksy

Will Ellsworth-Jones

Aurum Press
2013
pokkari
For someone who shuns the limelight so completely that he conceals his name, never shows his face and gives interviews only by email, Banksy is remarkably famous. From his beginnings as a Bristol graffiti artist, his artwork is now sold at auction for six-figure sums and hangs on celebrities’ walls. The appearance of a new Banksy is national news, his documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop was Oscar-nominated and people queue for hours to see his latest exhibition. Now more National Treasure than edgy outsider, who is Banksy and how did he become what he is today?In the first attempt to tell the full story of Banksy’ s life and career, Will Ellsworth-Jones pieces together a picture of his world and unpicks its contradictions. Whether art or vandalism, anti-establishment or sell-out, Banksy and his work have become a cultural phenomenon and the question ‘ Who is Banksy?’ is as much about his career as it is ‘ the man behind the wall’ .'Britain's unlikeliest national treasure' Independent ‘ A fascinating portrait that elicits admiration for a man who, despite his increasingly unconvincing efforts to retain some shred of his vandal status, has had an undeniable impact on art’ The Times

Banksy's Lost Works

Banksy's Lost Works

Will Ellsworth-Jones

BATSFORD
2025
sidottu
In this richly illustrated landmark book, author and journalist Will Ellsworth-Jones documents the sold, stolen and destroyed works of Banksy, one of the most renowned and controversial artists of our time. This is a book about what you can’t see: the works that have disappeared entirely, whether destroyed by authorities or whisked into people’s private art collections to languish on walls or in collector’s vaults. These remarkable works are as elusive as their creator, but are returned here for public consumption and enjoyment.A victim of his own success, Banksy is famous the world over and yet more famously disdainful of the spotlight, preferring to remain anonymous. Considered by many to be one of the greatest living artists in the world and to others a rogue vandal with a political agenda, Banksy has scandalised and enlightened the art world since his acts of guerrilla art began to appear on the streets of Barton Hill in Bristol over 25 years ago. His artworks can now be found on streets across the globe, adorning the walls of some of the world's most distinguished galleries and even being sold for millions at private auctions. Works unveiled in Banksy's Lost Works include:• The pieces painted on partially destroyed buildings around Kyiv, Ukraine, one of which has already been cut off the wall by a group of locals. • Valentine’s Day Mascara in Margate that has now been restored and housed in Dreamland after several interventions by Thanet District Council.• Banksy’s disappearing rats, an early symbol of the artist routinely painted over by councils when the name Banksy was more synonymous with ‘vandal’ than ‘artist’.This book, showcasing the often mysterious and occasionally mundane disappearances of works by one of the art world's more elusive figures, is a truly indispensable addition to the library of any Banksy fan. Sold, stolen or destroyed, discover Banksy’s works that have disappeared from the wall.

Gorgeous Tragedy: R.E. Lee's Final Months

Gorgeous Tragedy: R.E. Lee's Final Months

John Ellsworth Winter

Year of the Book
2018
nidottu
Robert Edward Lee was an American hero who became anti-hero then hero again.Five years post-war, his last seven months were marked with ill health and poor medical care. Washington College colleagues, where Lee served as president, prevailed upon him to take a vacation trip to the warmer South. With dreams of sun and citrus, Lee and his daughter Eleanor Agnes embarked on a less than soothing railroad journey to Florida, but the homeward return was an opposite story totally From the trip's first day in March 1870, R. E. Lee's passage was bracketed by blustery weather until the very end of his life seven months later. Perhaps aptly, the weather mirrored the torment festering in Lee's own soul. So many young lives lost. Why had he not argued more vehemently for the proposal of peace he'd so desired to present on the 4th of July, 1863, in York, Pennsylvania? Could not the epic bloodshed of Gettysburg have been prevented if his orders had been more explicit-not to fire first, not to bring battle unless attacked?"A time to weep and a time to laugh; a time to mourn and a time to dance." Tears and laughter. Mourning and dancing. The book of life is never closed. Now at last, R.E. Lee was on his way to his Father's home repentant... "Sometime let gorgeous Tragedy . . . come sweeping by, where more is meant than meets the ear."

Jocko the Raven

Jocko the Raven

Jocko was a real raven. He was brought to my animal hospital with a broken wing; and in the time that it took for the healing process and his recovery, we all became very fond of Jocko. After his release several miles away, he showed up on the corral fence and was not afraid of us. Also for a number of years after his release, he would show up with a slice of dry bread or a dry biscuit and soak it in the horse's water trough to soften it up.
