It Is Right to Draw Their Fur

Dave Eggers

You can't think of this as the latest book by Dave Eggers.

Okay, you can, but it's so much more.

This is part book, part collection of prints, part art portfolio, and all awesome.

Printed to coincide with a gallery show in San Francisco, this is Dave Eggers's first collection of drawings. Most of these works are of unusual mammals, most often accompanied by slogans with ancient, heroic, or just plain odd overtones.

This full-color package is a combination of 26 large-sized prints and an accompanying booklet.

Price: $40.00

Size: 14" x 19"

Estimated Time To Ship: 1 day

It Is Right to Draw Their Fur echoes questions posed by Eggers in McSweeney's Issue 27: What is the line between a doodle, a cartoon, a gag, and a work of fine art? Does it seem, sometimes, that the artist is defacing his or her own work by adding text? Is loose draftsmanship appealing, in that it's intimate and disarming? Is absurdity more appealing when it comes across as humble?
