about the bookabout

From Molly Crabapple— the artist hailed as “a punk Joan Didion” and “a young Patti Smith with paint on her hands”—comes a set of 24 greeting cards featuring her radiant, full color illustration.

This boxset is a twenty-first-century time capsule of resistance, with 12 different images that travel from a refugee camp in Ramallah to Luigi Mangione entering a New York courtroom.

Blank inside, the cards are perfect for marking any celebration: the festive season, birthdays, worldwide revolution. They are accompanied by envelopes in a beautifully illustrated box.

Don’t head into the holidays without your set.

Praise for Molly Crabapple:

“One of America’s best, most original artists.”

Men’s Journal

“A new model for this century’s young woman.”

New York Times Book Review

“One of the most determined and effective political artists working in these sorry times. I wish there were a hundred or even two or three like her.”

—Joe Sacco

“A punk Joan Didion, a young Patti Smith with paint on her hands, a twenty-first century Sylvia Plath. There’s no one else like her; prepare to be blown away . . . ”

Booklist

“Crabapple is smart and wicked and wicked smart, a master of imagery and perception . . . her art always works on multiple levels.”
