Indeed, Shilling derives much inspiration from her childhood obsession with Frank and the design style of after-school crafts--imagery that connotes comfort and innocence. Unlike the works of Frank, however, Shilling's painted characters contain imperfections, a sense of vulnerability and weariness that adults know all too well.\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Hippest Trip in America: By Land, Air and Sea\u003c\/i\u003e, the artist's works are paired with her source material, and texts by artists and writers Laura Owens, Kidogo Kennedy, Perwana Nazif and Grant Levy-Lucero are interspersed throughout. In a delightful nod to Frank, a sticker sheet insert is included on the back cover of the book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alake Shilling\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1737599821\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781737599821\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pacific\/Jeffrey Deitch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/30\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 8.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Alake Shilling","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44133065425151,"sku":"9781737599821","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0480be85-c5c7-4f87-b7ff-bb49df75d2d7.jpg?v=1687483880","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/alake-shilling-alake-shilling-9781737599821","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
