I was late to the party finding out about Joe Meno, whose The Boy Detective Fails accompanied me and the missus on vacation to Crete two years ago; it’s since become a favorite that I’ve lent out (and amazingly gotten back!) several times. I’ve wanted to re-read it but think it’s going to have to wait for me to read this, Meno’s new collection of short fiction that is gorgeously illustrated throughout. No dust jacket on this, btw: just a wonderfully vibrant pink with silver and orange stamped on the front. The crappy iPhone photos don’t do it justice. Buy this book from Amazon.com

Another great project from Denver during the Democratic National Convention. Tres Birds, a Boulder-based architectural firm, created this 18′ x 70′ ‘Manifest Hope’ beacon from reclaimed bicycle wheels. The installation sits on top of the Andenken Gallery, which is putting on a top-notch art exhibition from Aug. 25-28th to coincide with the DNC.
