jay ryan: "animals & objects" book, tours

From Jay Ryan of TheBirdMachine.com

i have a new book coming out in november. 8 x 11 inches, perfect bound. 144 pages. intro by andrew bird, essay by joe meno. the book is called animals and objects in and out of water, and collects my favorite work from 2005-2008, since the release of 100 posters / 134 squirrels.

i'll be posting the book for sale on my site after this coming weekend. sales from thebirdmachine.com will include an exclusive screenprinted slipcover, available nowhere else. the book currently is available on amazon for silly cheap (remember to use the GP homepage link), but if you care, i'd ask you to get them from my site instead. cover price is $23. shipping is TBD.

i will also be releasing a very limited edition of approximately 40 hardbound copies of the book, with screenprinted endpapers and all the bells and whistles. they will be expensive, and will be available some time in november.

i'll be going on two book tours with my buddy, graphic novelist paul hornschemeier (commercial work link),(comic work link).

we'll be doing some variation on slide shows / talks / book signings / hanging work on each night, subject to what is appropriate for each venue.

currently there are a couple holes in the booking, so if you have any geographically reasonable ideas for november 12, 14 (boston?), or 17 (DC?), please let me know.
