Beautiful Remnants of Chaotic Failures (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781470181758)

Sean Leary began his professional arts career at age 10, writing articles and drawing cartoons for the national newspaper The Comics Buyers Guide. Throughout his teens he continued to write and illustrate for various newspapers and magazines, and played in a handful of punk and new wave bands, collaborating with such future luminaries as Erik Larsen (``Savage Dragon'') and Jimmy Chamberlain (Smashing Pumpkins). During that time, he also had six gallery showings of his artworks and paintings, recorded three solo albums of instrumental music and was involved in a handful of theatrical productions in various capacities. With My Verona Productions (the company he founded with Tristan Tapscott in 2004) Sean has produced 16 live stage shows and almost two dozen short films in conjunction with those shows. My Verona's cinematic collaborators on those productions, Bluebox Limited, have since been finalists in Project Greenlight and won the MTV Young Filmmakers Award. Sean also founded and published The Dingo, a humor anthology featuring stand-up comics and humor writers from across North America. In addition, he ran Dingobi Records and Dingobi Films, which produced comedy records and short comedy films. Sean has been published and been involved in the publishing of 23 books, including nine solo works: Sean Leary's Greatest Hits Volumes One and Two (collections of pop culture columns), Exorcising Ghosts (graphic novel), Your Favorite Band and Dingo Boogaloo (screenplays), Every Number Is Lucky To Someone (collection of short stories), My Life As A Freak Magnet (humorous memoir), Does The Shed Skin Know It Was Once a Snake? (short stories) and Here Comes The Goot! (a children's book for beginning readers, co-authored with Sean's son, Jackson). His website is www.seanleary.com.
