Indeed, Shilling derives much inspiration from her childhood obsession with Frank and the design style of after-school crafts—imagery that connotes comfort and innocence. Unlike the works of Frank, however, Shilling’s painted characters contain imperfections, a sense of vulnerability and weariness that adults know all too well. In The Hippest Trip in America: By Land, Air and Sea, the artist’s works are paired with her source material, and texts by artists and writers Laura Owens, Kidogo Kennedy, Perwana Nazif and Grant Levy-Lucero are interspersed throughout. In a delightful nod to Frank, a sticker sheet insert is included on the back cover of the book.","brand":"Pacific","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887538614615,"sku":"9781737599821","price":33.15,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/alake-shilling-the-hippest-trip-in-america-by-land-air-and-sea-9781737599821","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
