This book is a graphic pass 'n review, in the linocut graphic tradition, by artist, printmaker J. Daniel Abel. It is nothing less than a comprehensive portfolio of the artist's recent work, mainly from the nation's two bleak years of pandemic. Revised, and expanded 2nd edition.
The prints are bold, choppy and uncompromising,
Abel's subject matter has few brackets. Everything, from punk rock to film noir is referenced, and subjected to the Abel's brutal graphic re-casting in raw-boned black and white.
Often as not, the result is an expressionistic annihilation.
