This was a time of revolution, radical ideas, and sweeping change, and Blake’s output was vast and varied, weaving together words and images in ways that had never been done before. During his lifetime, Blake was recognized as a talented painter and engraver, but he invariably missed out on the fame and fortune he so desperately wanted. No matter how hard he chased it, mainstream success remained just out of reach.

This book is dedicated to us. I cannot believe that I have done 13 of these crazy ass books. It is one thing to do 1 book start to finish, but 13.

My mom would take the accumulated extra ketchup and add them to our ketchup bottle.
