ARTIST CIRCLE OF LIFE HC

The Artist first appeared as a weekly strip on Vice and this second collection (the first was published in 2016) continues our hero's attempts to break out as a fine artist while being plagued by setbacks punctuated by glimpses of recognition. It's cynically satirical, but far more loving and affectionate than one might expect. The Artist is a modern hero for anyone who feels broken by the art world but continues on nonetheless.
