When artist Tom Curry first moved to Maine, his house overlooked a small, uninhabited island in Eggemoggin Reach. One day, while rowing across to the island, his boyhood fear of water came crashing in on him. So he decided to explore his fear head-on, and began painting the island “as a way to delve into my own darkness and seek a way back to the surface.” That series of paintings, capturing the island in all lights, weathers, and moods, forms the basis of this book. But the whole is much more than the sum of its parts. These paintings represent an ongoing narrative: “island as escape and entrapment, island as longing and memory, island as sanctuary, island as self in a sea of turmoil.” The paintings are accompanied by essays by Terry Tempest Williams, exploring Curry’s spirit of place, and Carl Little, establishing Curry’s art within the field of landscape painting.

The Rio Kid had ridden right into the ruthless heart of outlaw power . . .Available only in Western 14.

The nightmare of the Trump years is parodied in a hilarious review by award winning illustrator, turned cartoonist, Tom Curry, as he takes a jab at the Twitter Toddler and his endless lying. Working with a gold penthouse full of material, the cartoons take on those dark and tragic times, making fun of Captain Bone Spurs and his loyal cronies who served him. Here in chronological review is some of the crazy stuff that went on when the "stable genius" was tweeting and boasting, promoting cleaning products as a cure for Covid-19, and uttering one fib after another. From the 2016 campaign, and for four long years, we were held captive to the snake oil salesman''s clown show. From his indicted lawyer and campaign manager to a porn star spilling the beans, relive those surreal days of yesteryear in laugh out loud humor. In addition, the cartoons take on the disastrous pandemic and climate change, all "fake news," according to the Pinocchio-in-Chief. Throw it on the coffee table or on that shelf next to the john for all to share. Or, it might be the perfect gift for that Fox watching, Trump flag waving friend or relative who would certainly toss it in the nearest dumpster.

No man, however bold and quick with his sixgun, dared challenge these hardcases. Unless the Masked Rider could take on the chore...

They were proud Texans who returned in defeat from the Civil War, totally unaware that a new army of evil men were threatening to take over their beloved state.
