Ashley Macomber invited me into her home to talk about her new art project she’s created with Will Oldham (aka Bonnie “Prince” Billy). Ashley is an amazing artist and she’s got a really clear way of thinking about the creative process and about life in general. It’s always fun to talk to her.

“Afternoon” is based upon the adaptation of the poem, “l’apres midi d’un faune” written by Stephane Mallarme in 1865. It was originally put to music by Claude Debussy and popularized in the 1912 ballet, “Afternoon of a Faun” by Nijinsky.

Zach Galifianakis and Will Oldham help Kanye West make the coolest music video he’ll ever create.

You should really go buy one of these books. It’s only 30 bucks and it helps support real art. And it’s also really rad, so do yourself a favor and get it. There are only 1,000 of them and then they’ll be gone from the world. Get one now from www.blacktentpress.com
