First Hemingway, Now...

There's big news about our old friend, Joy, and one of my favorite works of hers, Old Man and Sea. I'll let you get the scoop straight from her below, but I just want to say how honored I am to have had the opportunity to see this work in its early stages and for Joy to graciously allow me to feature it in Keeping the Lights On. It's not easy for many artists to discuss in-progress work let alone allow it to be captured on film for all the world to see before it's completed, so I will always be grateful to Joy for granting us this window into her process and a first look at this amazing work of art.

Now, all the details from Joy:

I'm happy to announce that Old Man and Sea will be featured in the second issue of Conveyor Magazine.

In conjunction with the magazine launch, Conveyor Arts is producing a limited edition copy of the book. It is being offered as a reward for their Kickstater campaign to raise money for operating costs. If all goes well and they can raise enough money, it is possible that a larger run of the book will be available. With 8 days remaining, there are currently 7 of 20 copies of Old Man and Sea available.

If you are in the New York City area, there will be a magazine lauch party and exhibition on Friday, Nov. 18th at 25CPW from 7-10pm.

I'm late in posting this and the Kickstarter campaign has now ended. The good news is that Conveyor reached its goal, so hopefully Joy's book will receive a larger run and you will be able to get your hands on a copy as well!

Congrats, Joy!!!
