LULU is a collection of artist Lulu de Kwiatkowski's colorful, dreamlike, and autobiographical handmade collages. Whimsical yet complex, Lulu's original multimedia collages combine painting, drawing, photography, and writing. Her artwork draws inspiration from her unique, albeit rarefied and surreal, experiences growing up, as well as from her travels all over the world. The result is a distinctly feminine and decorative sensibility that resonates as both contemporary and timeless. � Lulu de Kwiatkowski and her work have been prominently featured in Architectural Digest and other interior design and lifestyle magazines. � She has a background in painting, textile design, and the decorative arts. � Her work blends depictions of flora and fauna with geometric studies of pattern and color. In Lulu's work, memories often appear in the form of handwritten text, as well as in portraits of herself and her family members, removed from their original context and integrated into these dreamlike and fictional landscapes. This sumptuous monograph is a celebration of her autobiographical collages, paintings, and illustrations. � The perfect gift for new and longtime fans of Lulu de Kwiatkowski, as well as artists and designers looking for aesthetic inspiration � Lovely on the shelf or on display on a coffee table � Great for those who loved Collage by Women: 50 Essential Contemporary Artists by Rebeka Elizegi and Blanca Ortiga, Henri Matisse: The Cut-Outs by Samantha Friedman, and Collage: Contemporary Artists Hunt and Gather, Cut and Paste, Mash Up and Transform by Danielle Krysa

From the New York Times bestselling illustrator of Turning Pages by Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor comes an emotionally resonant picture book about learning that what sets you apart is often what makes you great. Luci was born without a shadow. Mamá says no one notices. But Luci does. And sometimes others do too. Sometimes they stare, sometimes they tease Luci, and sometimes they make her cry. But when Luci learns to look at what makes her different as a strength, she realizes she has more power than she ever thought. And that her differences can even be a superpower. From three-time Pura Belpré Award honoree Lulu Delacre comes a heartfelt and uplifting story with a timeless message: what sets you apart is often what makes you great. Praise for Luci Soars: "This urban fable encourages readers to claim their space"--Kirkus Reviews *"Simple and powerful . . . a great read-aloud for educators to discuss emotions, bullying, acceptance of differences, self-esteem and empowerment." --Youth Services Book Review, starred review

Prior to the word processor, the typewriter, and movable type, was the block book of the 15th century. In Psalms, Poems, and Prayers, graphic artist Kreg Yingst resurrects the concept, carving over 100 blocks of images and text. In a style more reminiscent of German Expressionism than early medieval woodcut, 31 meditations of classic Christian writers and Saints are brought to life. Well-known poets such as Emily Dickinson and Gerard Manley Hopkins, along with beloved saints Francis of Assisi, and Bernard of Clairvaux, offer faith, hope, and praise for each day of the month. note: This is a facsimile of the original blockbook. All profits from this book are donated to various charities.

This is the remarkable memoir of the small girl (5 foot 1 inch tall) with the huge voice. At the age of 15, in 1964, Lulu - born Marie Lawrie in Glasgow - was already a star with her international hit song 'Shout'. At 18 she stole hearts as an English schoolgirl to Sidney Poitier's teacher with the movie hit 'To Sir With Love'. At 21, she married a Bee Gee, Maurice Gibb, and tied as winner of the Eurovision Song Contest with 'Boom-Bang-a-Bang'. Yet in 1993 she reached No.1 with 'Relight My Fire' (with Take That). Nearly forty years at the top of the showbiz tree, Lulu has never been afraid to experiment with new trends, and her book reflects the daring that took a girl from a Glasgow tenement to international stardom - as 'To Sir With Love' says, 'from crayons to perfume'. I DON'T WANT TO FIGHT (the title of a song Lulu wrote and Tina Turner recorded) is the devastatingly candid autobiography of a singer who has never shirked from facing anything.

The first in a five-volume best-of series, featuring an introduction from Margaret Atwood! Lulu Moppet is an outspoken and brazen young girl who doesn’t follow any rules—whether they’ve been set by her parents, the neighborhood boys, or society itself. In 2019 D+Q begins a landmark full-color reissue series collecting five volumes of Lulu’s funniest suburban hijinks: she goes on picnics, babysits, and attempts to break into the boys’ clubhouse again and again. Cartoonist John Stanley’s expert timing and constant gags made these stories unbelievably enjoyable, ensuring that Marge’s Little Lulu was a defining comic of the post-war period. First released in the 1940s and 1950s as Dell comics, Little Lulu as helmed by Stanley remains one of the most entertaining works in the medium. In this first volume, Little Lulu: Working Girl, we meet the series’ mainstay characters: Lulu, Tubby, Alvin, and oodles more neighbourhood kids. Little Lulu’s comedy lies in the hilarious dynamic between its cast of characters. Lulu’s assertiveness, individuality, and creativity is empowering to witness—the series is powerfully feminist despite the decades in which the stories were created. It’s the character’s strong personality that made her beloved by such feminist icons as Patti Smith, Eileen Myles, and more. Lovingly restored to its original full color, complete with knee-slapping humor and an introduction by Margaret Atwood that explains the vitality of Lulu herself, Little Lulu: Working Girl is a delight for classic comics fans and the uninitiated.

In this wordless story, an ordinary day at the beach transforms into an unforgettable adventure. “Many children have wondered what it might be like to be minuscule, and this wordless adventure is accessible even to a quite young beachgoer . . . An imaginative journey.” —Kirkus Reviews When two sister wander the shore on their family beach outing in search of seashells, smooth pebbles, and other sandy treasures, they discover a gigantic seed pod large enough to hold them afloat. Unable to resist, they climb aboard, and before they know it are swept across the ocean to a mysterious island populated by marvelous vegetation and outsized insects. As they explore, their vessel is carried back out to sea, and they are stranded on the grand isle. Curiosity has led them far from home and only an act of daring and resourcefulness will bring them back. This wordless adventure leads the audience through a richly imagined land packed with spectacular flowers and foliage well suited to Willy Wonka’s botanical garden. Samworth combines the natural with the surreal in harmonious colors to create a landscape that promises new discoveries on each visit.
