peter's books

My friend PETER SUTHERLAND recently gave copies of his new books:

DIRT LAND (GALLERY WHITE ROOM, TOKYO)


MUDDY TREADS (SEEMS BOOKS, SAN FRANCISCO)


they are both great - although I like MUDDY TREADS a little better. Peter's been publishing books like crazy, 6 or 7 so far, I'm not even sure anymore, and I think that's great, cause he's really such a good and positive guy. Great to see good things happening to good people.

On the other hand, if I know someone is a piece of shit, that really affects how I see their work. It's pretty hard to be objective once you know. You will always question that person's intentions.

ps. DASHWOOD BOOKS sells some of Peter's books + they are signed.
pps. BUCK SHOTS is still my favorite of Peter's books.
