Brian Andreas Books
Brian Andreas crafts his art from salvaged wood, weaving short, evocative stories into each piece. His distinctive style employs simple, declarative language alongside folk-art-inspired shapes, featuring bright yet soothing colors and shadowy, amorphous faces. Andreas draws inspiration from everyday life and cherished moments with friends and family, transforming them into narratives filled with laughter and delightful lunacy, with a playful ambiguity about their truth. His diverse creations, which include published books and handcrafted objects, reflect a profound connection to the human experience.
This is the second book, first published in 1994. It includes over 80 stories and drawings. Many of our collectors have said this book expands on the laughter and lunacy of the first book, Mostly True. It includes such favorites as 'Angels of Mercy' ("Most people don't know there are angels whose only job is to make sure you don't get too comfortable & fall asleep & miss your life") and 'True Things' ("they came to sit & dangle their feet off the edge of the world & after awhile they forgot everything but the good & true things they would do someday").
