Too Black for B.E.T
Here it is! Episodes I and II of Jayson Scott Musson’s Too Black for B.E.T. finally collected into a single volume. 36 black and white posters that teem with art magic! It’s as if Musson made a pact with Satan, and Satan, taking a liking to Mr. Musson, gave the artist dark powers which no mortal should possess. Gasp in terror as you are pulled into a world of moral relativism and self-obsession so demented that it borders on the realm of Tolkien-esque fantasy. Too Black for B.E.T.: Episodes I and II sports an elegant matte finish that’s so elegant that you’ll need Mr. Belvedere, Jeffery from the Fresh Prince of Bel Aire, and Batman’s butler Alfred to give you a high class hand job (or satisfactory fingerlingus) in order to feel worthy of touching the book. Oh, the book is really funny too. And there’s also stuff about politics in it too. But mostly, Too Black for B.E.T. is just some crazy ass shit. The best toilet reading passing as art since the Bible!

Extra Virgin
Judith Schaechter's stained glass narratives are a paradoxical assemblage of medieval depictions, mediated by contemporary tales of human failings. Hers is a demented carnival world, made claustrophobic by dizzying arrays of texture, obsessive detail and intense color.
In a field much better known for abstraction, her imagery relies on painstaking draftsmanship and the figure. Indeed, the artist has given new meaning to the stained glass genre precisely by adopting its historical narrative function. The artist balances the methods of painting on glass that harken back to the middle ages with an unmistakably contemporary style aligned with those of underground comics and political artists.

Swell
Taking an obsessive aim at the suburban landscape, Space 1026 artist Becky Suss' coloring book-chock full with page after page of stacked houses-is a meditation on the notion of comfort and home, loneliness and loss. It also doubles as a OCD-crazed flipbook.
