MY HUNGER FOR VENISON

Los Angeles: Baby Tattoo Books, 2007. First edition. Fine.. Signed first printing of this collection of art relating to "Venisons," Baseman's sexy yet menacing deer women characters. Gary Baseman pioneered the field of Pervasive Art, something not quite lowbrow but not quite "fine." Baseman's art is, indeed, pervasive, particularly in LA: from graffiti to galleries to Emmy-winning cartoons, his playfully edgy style successfully straddles the line between illustration and "Art." 9.5'' x 12.5''. Original color pictorial boards. No dust jacket. Illustrated in color. [64] pages. Signed by Baseman to title page, dated 2007. Booklet to recess in inner rear board, color pictorial wrappers and [32] pages of black-and-white illustrations. Bright.
