“ART BUM: Guide to the Best Places to Die,” the new graphic novel by Joy Rip, is the ghostly story of one desperate artist's graphic blueprint for dying with the illusion of grace.
Some say life begins without fear. Some say life begins with fear. We are born. We experience pain. We become fearful. We experience fear. We learn fear. We are ruled by fear. All the rules that govern the art world are rules crafted by fear and pain. The rules governing any living world... any conscious world... any human world, are rules crafted by our perceived limitations in the face of fear and pain. So why not cut to the chase and create a work of art that simply deals head on with the one most obvious pain and limitation ruling our lives: Our fear of death.
Joy Rip smiles. “This is the poor man's guide to dying. It's designed for the poor only because it aims to be a viable plan for anyone, even those with the fewest financial options, on how best to leave this world (with your head up). But everyone is welcome to use it.” Take a look. A bad plan might be better than no plan at all. Just remember, it's only art.

(note:this is an unfinished book, I will be writing more when i can)
Welcome to Shapes life. Not only is her name complicated, but her teenage life is as well. Despite always getting herself into trouble or making situations worse than they already are, Shapes is a pretty good person. She loves her friends and she usually tries to do the right thing, well most of the time ;)But even so, not even Shapes can control the outcome of her complicated life.
The admonition to "come boldly to the throne of Grace" assumes some things. It assumes many grace engendered aspects have already occurred in the life of the respondent. (One such assumption is that Grace has done its work in the heart of the "approacher," in the form of redemption and gifting through the Holy Spirit.) The invitation to "come boldly" is given to enable a person to come to the source of Grace and find even more.
