About Me

HOORAY FOR GUYBURWELL.COM"The smart and cultured patron will seek our imagery as an addition to, and support of, their own bulwark against the increasing ignorance and banality of the commonly perceived world attempting to invade their quality of life."....................“His distinctive line work can be like a kick in the teeth, all hard lines and action, giving the impression that the art might cut your skin if you get too close. At other times, he can fill the lines with helium, floating the images just beyond the grip of reality in pools of color that aren’t meant to coexist peacefully. Any which way you approach the images, give them a good close look because there are things to see well beyond the cursory glance. But never. Ever. Turn your back on them. If you want flat, boring, empty, meaningless, common, pseudo contemporary counter culture crapola, you can get that anywhere. For GUYBURWELL, you can only come to the source.”-E.J. Booker Portland, 2005

in large piles by my bed. Michael Kun lately. Ted Heller is a new discovery and funny as all get out. Very nice. Trevanian. William Diehl. Stephen Hunter's Swagger series is awesome! Lawrence BLock always. Donald Westlake is the greatest. Chuck P. Max Allan Collins's Nathan Heller books are tremendous. Elleston Trevor/Adan Hall is amazing (Quiller is an amazing presence in all his books). Sedaris and Kidd and plenty of others over the years. I need something new. Craig Ferguson's new/only book is funny as hell. Surprising. Ruth Rendell is an old master of suspense that I am digging through now. Over 50 books so that is good. Eric Ambler is another old master that I had missed.
