As John Lurie writes at the beginning of this collection of sketches and cartoons; "Welcome! You can have a dream. You can be a good drawer. Pay attention! Drawing can be fun and you can impress your friends. Point the lead of the pencil on a block of paper. Shading is important. In the objects about us that we think of as beautiful, it isn't always their colour that attracts our attention; it is what they look like. We are not garbage. We are people. Good Luck!" This is a book of funny, angry, bitter, grotesque, strange and affectionate drawings by jazz musician (the Lounge Lizards) and actor John Lurie.
