Pussy Pirates
Sidelinger, Stephen J., 1947-
http://stephensidelinger.com/stephensidelinger/Welcome.html
A single-instance (one of a kind) artist's book. Consists of 19 unbound bifolios on heavy paper, plus a title leaf on the same stock, in a portfolio of boards covered in green silk with "PP" embossed on front board. The second page of each bifolio contains a brief printed text, whimsical in tone, with handwritten additions of punctuation, emendations and/or decorations of the text. The third page of each bifolio bears an illustration executed in gouache and pen. Both the text and the illustration are bordered by plain sheets with appropriate cutouts mounted around them. The portfolio is housed in a clamshell box (38 x 29 x 5 cm.) covered in wood-grain paper with faux metal straps and lined with green silk to match the portfolio.
Author's name on title leaf appears to be handwritten, in an imitation of serif type.
"Sidelinger's personal encyclopedia of pirate lore. Each fact, myth, and story, whether mundane, witty, or outrageous, is accompanied by his interpretive drawing. As usual with Sidelinger, the images were created first and provide fertile material to be cobbled into surreal narrative"--Bookseller's web site (Vamp & Tramp Booksellers), viewed Apr. 22, 2013.
