Fall Breaks and Back to Winter

Here's some autumn news and events.

First off, Quimby's Bookstore in Chicago is selling copies of Actual Bird Song at their store and online. They have been super supportive of The Famous Hairdos of Popular Music project, and I'm very excited and thankful that they are showing love for this latest endeavor, too. Check out their listing here.

On Saturday December 10th, the fourth annual Milwaukee Zine Fest will be taking place in Milwaukee's Riverwest neighborhood. I'll be there behind a table all day, so if you'll be in Milwaukee that day, please come and say hello. In the meantime, check out the festival's website here. I'm very excited to be attending again after a year off.

Finally, be sure to check back for details about future projects from Lemon o Books. Already in the works are the next volume of The Famous Hairdos of Popular Music (volume seven!) and a sort of follow-up/successor to Actual Bird Song. This book will be another quasi-field guide with a CD of accompanying music by one or more musicians. Count on more details about these projects as they continue to take shape.

Happy fall, everyone.

Volume Six at Quimby's

Here is some wonderful news. The Famous Hairdos of Popular Music Volume Six, just like the five previous volumes, is for sale at Quimby's in Chicago! What's more, you can order it directly from them on this very Internet.

If you want to get your hands on this book, you can always order it directly from me ($3.00 postage paid to the lower 48 states, P.O. Box 11872 Milwaukee, WI 53211), but if you also want to support a rad store that has been supporting rad art for 20 years, by all means, follow the following link.

What's extra amazing is the write up on their website, written by one E.F. Here it is (I'm so flattered, that I will make it a block quote):

I gotta whole lotta love for this drawing zine. Using famous hair as the template for some physical graffiti, 30-odd artists complete pages and pages of Pages. -EF

Thanks!
