Pulp Non-Fiction
This may come as a shock to you, but being a librarian, I get a lot of librarian-related stuff as gifts. Instead of getting sick of it, however, I LOVE it all, from tote bags to coffee mugs to t-shirts. Even better than getting something library-related is getting something library-related created by someone I KNOW, so I'm excited to show you this fabulous poster that the artist (who happens to be my wonderful and wildly talented boyfriend) made a couple of years ago (before we even met!) for a library friends group fundraiser:

I was lucky enough to have been given a hard copy of the poster, which I put up in my apartment. Looking at it makes me want to be the heroine in a film noir that has a scene where the coolly mysterious librarian wearing a slinky red dress says something like "This was long OVERDUE" before breaking the bad guy's heart and legs simultaneously. I figure I just need to get a slinky red dress and a pair of glasses and I'll be all set. (But not a gun. No guns in libraries, please! Or anywhere else, really.)
That is VERY cool.

ReplyDeleteTee hee hee. And awesome poster!
This is a seriously cool poster.
ReplyDeleteOooo, and the story's by the creator of The Shadow!
ReplyDeletePulpy goodness, indeed.
Love this so much. :-)
ReplyDeleteI didn't know librarians could carry guns. They told me I had to get rid of my club, but I think a gun would be much more dangerous to delinquent patrons.
ReplyDeleteWhere can we get a copy of this fabulous pulpy poster?
ReplyDeleteI'll ask the artist if he's willing/able to make more! :)
