The Lives of Lowbrow Artists: Volume 1
One of my oldest friends has just published a book - The Lives of Lowbrow Artists: Volume 1. Just as it says on the tin, it’s made up of profiles of Lowbrow artists, focusing in Volume 1 on some such artists who have made a significant impression on both Fritz Costa, the author, and many of us who are in orbit around mid-century, polynesian pop, “tiki”, hot rod, and other “lowbrow” art aesthetics.
The book is available now on Amazon Kindle. Volume 1 has chapters on Josh Agle (Shag), Tim Biskup, Miles Thompson, Derek Yaniger (who also did the cover art you see here), and Brandi Milne. I can almost guarantee you’ll learn something new, even if you think you know the stories of these artists.
