Bwana Spoons is taking to the road this summer with his first monograph-
Welcome To Forest Island, published by Top Shelf.
All 144 full-color pages ‹ including paintings, maps, sketches, comics, and
more ‹ are dedicated to Forest Island: the wild, hyperchromatic paradise
Spoons has been constructing with his art for several years. The denizens of
this mind-bending island include sweet whale-gators, boozy super-cicadas,
arrow-slinging, basket-weaving bearded love tribes, an ex-hobo mushroom
farmer, and one brutally intense bat who plays drums in a proto-metal band
and would do just about anything to make a bagel relinquish its jelly
filling!
Legend has it that the magical, mythical beast, Babe Bunyan, wanders the Pacific Northwest, an icon of wild freedom. Until recently, evidence of this rare creature was limited to personal accounts and paintings by Portland based artist Justin 'Scrappers' Morrison. Now, Babe Bunyan has been realized as an articulated toy, produced entirely in Portland, Oregon, by Grasshut and Arne Industies. To Celebrate the release of this epic symbol of Northwestern culture, Grasshut has created a series of custom painted Babe Bunyans, available now.

Paper was folded, wood and canvas were painted, and everybody had a lovely time. All paper cut-outs are downloadable from Phoneticontrol's website, and all paintings are viewable at the S7 store.
