BRHischier: Art & Writing

“Proverbs” Book For Sale

Ecker — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 23:47:43 +0000

My half-comic strip, half-self-help book Proverbs For The Painfully Aware has been published on Lulu.com. It is a book of eighteen proverbs written to give humanity a quick boost of serotonin, accompanied by eighteen demented drawings that suck it back out again. Described by many as both “Heartwarming” and “Sick,” it’ll be sure to pep up anybody’s life no matter how bad things are. The printing over at Lulu is absolutely stunning and I can’t stop kissing my own copy.

You can find it on Lulu by searching for Proverbs Painfully Aware or by clicking on this link.

BRH at Transistor: Chicago

Ecker — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 02:48:36 +0000

Late 2009 brought Transistor to Andersonville, up north in Chicago. The shop is cozy and loaded with great things to buy: Books, Music, Art, Electronics and more. The owners enjoy talking about their wares, as they choose them with care and taste. Even the walls get in on the fun, turning the shop into a cool art gallery loaded with lovely photographs by Chicago photographers. As if that wasn’t enough, they host film screenings, seminars, and live music shows.

Appearing on their walls in mid-December is your very own BRHischier. A selection of his Darkitecture prints will be available for purchase direct from Transistor. In addition to the photography, his book Proverbs For The Painfully Aware will also be for sale, as well as a selection of his Adorable Horrible greeting cards called Animals In Ornaments.

From their website: Transistor is equal parts art gallery, book and magazine shop, CD & record store, electronics boutique, and more. We have a resale section, called The Closet (by Rani). We feature free film screenings, performances, workshops and pingpong.

Drawings: The Adorable Horrible

A curious mixture of the adorable and the horrible, the sad and strange drawings of BRHischier are appearing for a limited time as a series of Christmas cards at Transistor Chicago. Finding inspiration from the dismal state of the lonely world, BRHischier evokes a wan smile and a warm heart, all at the same time. You can purchase selected prints (framed or not framed) at his Imagekind store.

Short and Funny: Writings at Readable By Machines

Ecker — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 01:58:15 +0000

The writings here at Readable By Machines are by BRHischier and are updated at least a couple times a week. The writings fall into a couple main categories: Japes & Jests, Writing & Art, and This Amusing Life. They are short, slightly-polished, and indicative, one hopes, of what one can expect in his longer works, published elsewhere or not at all. A major project on the website is theCombinative Text, experiments which will probably be made available for free on this website. Have fun.
