48708:+/- &/or: an Artist's Life ?!? Patrick B Humphreys

This book is about an artist living in zip code : 48708. That is Bay City, Michigan. IT is an alright place to live but not so much for an artist. The area is not devoid of art. There is a great gallery here : C. A. T. WORK Art Gallery , 514 Washington, Bay City, Michigan, 48708, 989, 893-2771, Ext. #6. This gallery is attached to Larson Salvage, a business well known in the area. Tom Larson owns both businesses. A great advocate for art in Bay City, MI !! Hard to believe a gallery of great modern art exists in this area !! Tom has about 100 pieces of my artwork on display as well a his own , his daughter Amelia , his son, Carl as well as other local artists including other local artists such a Rich Long , a personal and artistic friend. Come to the gallery if you are ever in Bay City , Michigan !! Also in the book are black and white photographs of the local area : buildings and landscapes as well as images of my artwork. I chose to make the book in a graphic novel format with black and white pages between them. . I love black and white photographs !! I also love color but for this project black and white was appropriate because I wanted the book to make the book a combination of both. Thanks for looking : Patrick B. Humphreys
