PITCH BLACK GN
by Youme Landowne & Anthony Horton
One afternoon Youme began a conversation with Anthony, a homeless artist living
in New York's subway tunnels, about art. Both Youme and Anthony Horton are
artists. While part of Youme's art is listening long and hard to the stories of
the people she meets, part of Anthony's is making art out of what most people
won't even look at. Thus began a unique collaboration and conversation between
these two artists over the next year, which culminated in Anthony's biography,
the graphic novel Pitch Black. With art and words from both, they map out
Anthony's world — tough from many perspectives, startling from others, but from
Anthony's point of view, a life lived as art. (C: 0-1-2) NOTE: This item may be
