[Vancouver]: Heavenly Monkey. Fine+ in Fine+ dust jacket. 2011. First Edition; First Printing. Cloth. Oddballs, a collection of 40 wood engravings of (in) famous people from throughout history, by Jim Westergard, was issued in October 2011 as 30 numbered copies plus five hors de commers. Set in Dante and Dante Titling, printed at Heavenly Monkey in a binding by Claudia Cohen, contrary to the original prospectus. While Rolin Millroy, Heavenly Monkey insisted it wasn't part of the design, the book comes in the attractive translucent Heavenly Monkey spiderweb dust-wrapper. A Very Fine and exceptional copy; "The very darkness in the heart of the [wood engraving] medium seems to spawn darkness in the images it yields. One thinks of the engravings of Blake and Baskin. My own work too, seems informed, whether I wish it or not, by the medium's brooding darkness. ". Between 2005 and 2009, Jim Westergard created a series of 40 wood engravings of curious and infamous historical personages, all with his characteristic combination of technical mastery and mischief ; 96 pages; Signed by Author .

Description:
(Vancouver, BC): Heavenly Monkey, 2011. Westergard, Jim. Quarto. 96pp. From an edition of thirty copies, this is one of two optioned for a test binding. Signed by the author/illustrator, Jim Westergard. Illustrated with forty wood engravings immortalizing infamous people, ranging from well-known oddballs such as Lizzie Borden and Hunter Thompson, to more obscure characters, including the tenth-century Icelandic poet Gunnlaug Wormtongue, who was known for his offensive and unpopular poetry, and the Gentleman Bandit Bill Miner, who is said to be the originator of the phrase "Hands up!" Westergard includes himself in the group, with a self-portrait as the frontispiece. Each illustration is accompanied by a short biographical sketch on the facing page.

With an Introduction by Barry Moser and an Afterword by publisher Rollin Milroy. Bound in blue cloth with leather spine onlay and…
