More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
With an aesthetic found on the streets (literally, as a graffiti writer and sign painter), and influenced by such great artists as Chris Ware and Ken Lum, Steve Powers has painted a neighborhood of petty criminals, pettier crimes, and a superhero who’s a couple steps away from saving the day. Sharp, funny, and clever, First & Fifteenth features brief urban stories that shrewdly straddle the line between graphic novel and work of art. With a nod to the concrete roots of graffiti and sign painting, Powers skillfully combines word and image to produce a new and unique vision in modern art. Powers’s work has been exhibited in galleries and museums internationally, and First & Fifteenth confirms his arrival as an exciting and talented new artist.

espo's done it again
16 Nov 2005
Format:Paperback
anyone familar with powers work over the past 10 years has come to expect some fiendishly genius work and this book is more of the same. the paintings have a fantastic sense of space and color and the stories take us into a urban fantasy/reality where the super heroes need a hug and the scam artists ply their trades.
Genius!

Not only is Powers' art unique and well-crafted, his story-telling ability is first rate, whether it be multiple page or one panel stories.
