Emerging artist Rose Camara

In December our subscribers received stickers and a brand new mini comic by Rose Camara, an illustrator and aspiring art historian based in Milwaukee’s lower east side.
Rose Camara is an illustrator and art professional based in Milwaukee’s lower east side. Her artistic practice ranges from multimedia illustrations to inky streams of consciousness. Rose is also an aspiring art historian and currently the Research Assistant for the forthcoming Bronzeville Center for the Arts! She can talk your ear off about the importance of art, art museums, and why many existing art museums need to be dismantled and unpacked. Rose also thinks it’s very important to mention that cats are her favorite. Follow Rose on Instagram

Milwaukee-based visual artist Clark Rendall

Clark Rendall is a visual artist living and working in Milwaukee. His iconographic screen prints feature symbols from the natural environment, while his abstract landscape paintings involve more experimental techniques including pouring, dragging and papercutting.

How is this different from buying the book on Amazon?
You get a ton of stuff with the book. You learn about artists and authors you may not otherwise know. You join our awesome community and support an independently-owned bookstore. You don't help expand Beelzebezos' evil empire. You get an amazing book in a padded envelope full of surprises, and not in the same box as your bulk toilet paper
