"Because I am essentially the only person working on each issue, the production of Esopus has been an intensely personal exercise. For these drawings, I've worked mostly from photographs depicting Esopus events, artists' projects from particular issues, behind-the-scenes glimpses of the printing and editorial process, and other instances related to the production of the publication. Each drawing took between two and five days to complete. Over the course of that time, I found myself becoming immersed in--and reliving on some level--a very specific moment in the history of Esopus."--Tod Lippy.
