[You can also see some wallets and purses with stitched designs by TL contributor Megan Whitmarsh on the table next to us-- Jeremy acted as her proxy salesman.]

Hey Fudge!

"I highly recommend Travis Millard's Fudge Factory drawings and comics. Beautiful chunky drawings and funny stories. His work is better than mine which is why I recommend you avoid him and buy my books instead."
- Tony Millionaire, Maakies Comics

"This guy can fucking draw."
- Gavin McInnes, Vice Magazine

"Travis Millard is the antithesis of the egotistical, pretentious artist cliché."
- Shepard Fairey, Obey Giant

"Travis Millard's brain is like a 40 ounce slurpee cup filled with hot fudgy genius..."
- Johnny Ryan, Angry Youth Comix

Artist/writer Travis Millard (aka Fudge) has been self-publishing under the Fudge Factory Comics moniker for over 10 years. His work has graced bar bathrooms and galleries, the pages of magazines and journals, sneakers and skateboards and snowboards, even the sides of his now defunct automobile.

Hey Fudge is the first solo book featuring his art and comics, including many pieces previously only published by hand in small batches at the artist's studio.

Presented within are dreamscapes populated by odd and amusing characters, biting caricatures of neo-conservatives, and a thirty page opus entitled "Michael Jackson in Exile," starring a timid-looking pop star cast out of society and into the threatening jungles of Borneo.

Printed in an unusual wide format with stitched binding and full-color, linen-embossed "flexi" cover, and designed by Fudge himself.

ISBN 0-9760388-1-1
240 pgs, sewn binding, $30

Also available through Last Gasp.

Special: Buy Travis Millard's Hey Fudge with Two Letters vol. 1 at a discount price. ($30 + $8)

Two Letters

Loosely structured around the theme of "sneaking in", Two Letters is a striking collection of fiction, nonfiction, art, comics, poetry and photography. Works from both new and established artists combine to create a rich and engaging book of uncommon quality that is by turns comical, tender, and grotesque.

ISBN 0-9760388-0-3
144 pgs, squarebound, $12
