Art for Charlottesville
In August of 2017, artist Paula Billups announced she would create 30 paintings in 30 days and offer them for sale, with 100%%%%%%%% of the sale price to be donated to the Southern Poverty Law Center. She did this independently, in response to the racist violence in Charlottesville, Virginia. On completion of the project, 30 days had passed, 28 of the works had sold, and Ms. Billups donated over $1,300 to the SPLC. This book is a collection of all 30 works. 100%%%%%%%% of the profit from its sale will be donated to the SPLC. Ms. Billups painted scenes of tranquility and great natural beauty, drawing on the gorgeous landscapes of New England and the small wonders of everyday life. These jewel-like paintings were created in the spirit of peace and justice, and in hope of a more harmonious world for everyone.

How We Read
What do we do when we read? Reading can be an act of consumption or an act of creation. Our "work reading" overlaps with our "pleasure reading," and yet these two modes of reading engage with different parts of the self. It is sometimes passive, sometimes active, and can even be an embodied form. The contributors to this volume share their own histories of reading in order to reveal the shared pleasure that lies in this most solitary of acts - which is also, paradoxically, the act of most complete plenitude. Many of the contributors engage in academic writing, and several publish in other genres, including poetry and fiction; some contributors maintain an active online presence. All are enga...

Mi Padre y Mi Madre: paintings to benefit the Texas Civil Rights Project
In the summer of 2018, in response to the government's cruel policies of separating families at the border who were seeking asylum, artist Paula Billups created 30 paintings in 30 days and sold them online. She donated 100%% of the profits to the Texas Civil Rights Project, which advocates for disenfranchised people and which played a role in assisting these refugees with their legal and logistical needs. This book is a compilation of those works, and 100%% of the profit from its sale will also be donated to the TCRP. Ms. Billups conceived this project independently, and is not affiliated with the TCRP.
The Envious Siblings: and Other Morbid Nursery Rhymes
Eight gleefully macabre rhyming vignettes by an award-winning comics artist, as delightful as they are deadly. Inspired by the dark imagination of Edward Gorey, Envious Siblings is a twisted and hauntingly funny debut. Comics artist Landis Blair interweaves absurdist horror and humor into brief, rhyming vignettes at once transgressive and hilarious. In Blair’s surreal universe, a lost child watches as bewhiskered monsters gobble up her fellow train passengers; a band of kids merrily plays a gut-churning game with playground toys; and two sisters, grinning madly, tear each other apart. These charmingly perverse creations take ordinary settings—a living room, a subway car, a playground—and spin them in a nightmarish direction. Envious Siblings heralds a brilliant new cartooning talent, and will captivate readers who have thrilled to the lurid fantasies of Roald Dahl, Quentin Blake, Charles Addams, Shel Silverstein, and Tim Burton.
