Rollo Heinz, burglar extraordinaire, gets nabbed one night. Sent off to jail, issued a pair of sneakers ten sizes too large, he sits handcuffed in the holding tank, waiting for admission into the main population.

The nametag in bronze on its frame says, "Painted by Laverne "Buddy" Budd, Antonio "Zippo" Gonzalez, and Rollo Heinz.
What the...?

“ART BUM: Guide to the Best Places to Die.” Map the unmappable. Everyone is an explorer when it comes to mapping the end... life's end... your end. Everyone alive is a tourist when it comes to traveling to the lands of the dead. Get this graphic novel guide to death and dying. No life plan is complete without it. No illusion of completeness is as satisfying as this one.
“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.
A FEW OF MY ATTEMPTS AT POETRY
" One can say that ghost will lingers if there's still regret. Everytime I see him I would return to my past, an old self that should have been long gone before..."
A tall tale about an adventurous encounter with a vampire...maybe.
This is a short story I wrote last year.
This book is very emotional, it is an autobiography. I decided to write this book to keep memory of the times when i had no one to look up to except my mum. she has been a real mother to my life. i wish encourage that this book become an inspiration to many because it speaks a lot about life in general.
