Indeed, Shilling derives much inspiration from her childhood obsession with Frank and the design style of after-school crafts--imagery that connotes comfort and innocence. Unlike the works of Frank, however, Shilling's painted characters contain imperfections, a sense of vulnerability and weariness that adults know all too well.\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Hippest Trip in America: By Land, Air and Sea\u003c\/i\u003e, the artist's works are paired with her source material, and texts by artists and writers Laura Owens, Kidogo Kennedy, Perwana Nazif and Grant Levy-Lucero are interspersed throughout. In a delightful nod to Frank, a sticker sheet insert is included on the back cover of the book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 10 x 8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 30, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51772546744608,"sku":"9781737599821","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/d89e8e152752cd66230135ef55a60c1a.webp?v=1780408218","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/alake-shilling-the-hippest-trip-in-america-by-land-air-and-sea-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
