Summary: why not buy an SUV?
Review: "Pass the gas 'doc'" "What?" The surgeon was startled. He was a little gassy. Greasy lunch. He's a doctor of sorts, he should know better. Anyhow, the bulk of it seemed not to have much of smell. He was spared that much. "Oh. I see what you mean." He lifted the mask to the patient's face. Though he was relieved that his own gasses weren't being detected, he was put off by the man's crassness toward such a touchy subject as medical drugs; especially those one could derive pleasure from. The patient eased back. As he faded out the ride in the chair was smoothe and stable. He felt secure and safe, far away from harm. Four thousand pounds of glossy painted steel. A form fitting suit of armor. His body was a different shape now, but that didn't bother him.

Summary: Surreal or sur-surreal?
Review: A tome of this magnitude only comes along once in a century - and this is Shawn Wolfe's century. The visual and didactic distortions so prevalent in modern consumer society are perfectly reflected, or should we say "refracted" back to us in this, Wolfe's "message" to future socio-art-historians. It is a study of image as message and message as meaning and meaning as truth. As I absorbed this incredible work I found myself gripped with giddy recognition... "that's me in there! I too am a mere caricature of a modern life!". The only thing we know is that we know nothing and "The Art & Design of Shawn Wolfe" proves to us how small and petty are our everyday desires and dreams; how meek are our pretensions to individuality and enlightenment. From this literary achievement, we can all learn something valuable; about our art, our lives and our post industrial and merely disposable context. Even as we come to reconcile ourselves to buy and sell our own culture and leave nothing for future generations but an empty heart and a huge bill, we see that there is nothing to fear. The future is our birthright, the present is our commodity and the past is our storage media. Bravo!

Summary: Uncanny Indeed!
Review: Do you know why you are fat? Why you prefer crunchy golden goodness to a newer, moister lifestyle? Or why your Personal Digital Assistant won't cut you some slack? 'Uncanny' by artist/eschatonaut Shawn Wolfe slices and dices up postmodern culture into chunks so thick, you'll be choking on them all week! Page after white knuckled page of full color ads for things that don't even exist, and if they do exist, they'll wish they didn't! Are you looking at an ad for a band, or a headache inducer? (Mommy, why does that lady have spoons for legs?) Wolfe is one of the most exciting voices to come out of the premillenial burnout of the last decade. His brushes, pens, and mouse-clicks are minipulated with a matter-of-fact honesty to remind us that the world (or outerspace for that matter) may be for sale, but not so without a fight. With 'Uncanny', Wolfe is not projecting fear onto the culturescape; his art is instead a kind of psychic cinema-verite in which we see ourselves watching ourselves. This resulting feedback is a hilarious, eye-opening trip into the emptiness in our lives that we love to fill with products and brand names. His Remover/Installer for instance is a fascinating look at how a 2-dimensional idea becomes a very real 3-dimensional parasite, feeding off our nostalgia for quicker, safer lifestyles. Baudrillard wanted us to skip the last decade and jump right to Y2K and avoid the rush. I am just thankful we had Shawn Wolfe and Beatkit to show us the way.

Summary: Uncanny!
Review: Fantastic. I love this guy's stuff. Can't believe he's got a book out. If you've found this review, it is not a coincidence, but another act performed for your benefit by a loving and merciful God. Buy this book. He's one of the greatest pop artists of all time.

Summary: The Orange Milkmaid Can
Review: How do you know when to stop? All the oceans could not hold the amount of color, a sampling, fortunate seedling. It's hardly uncanny. Rather, it fills the eyes, makes the hours flow into a lens of your sweet, sweet shining. Shawn has provided a slice of the wonder, a soft wing under which we may rest from the storm, a slight shiver. Who?

Summary: This Book Changed My Life!
Review: I used to be a lousy drunk, sleep in a cardboard box and live off crusts from unfinished pizzas left on the sidewalk. Then I read "Uncanny," the brilliant new self-help book by F. Shawn Wolfe. It honestly changed my life. I've read it approximately 63 times since then. I'm sober, my new box is durable plastic and I'm growing new hair at my temples and crown. Thank you, Mister Wolfe. You are an American Hero. Peace Out.

Summary: Dust Jacket Diva
Review: I was planning to read Shawn Wolfe's book, but I was so floored by the liner notes in the cover, that I had to spend an hour in quiet contemplation and awe of that unsung author. Tim O'Neel posesses an incisive wit and pithy commentary that elevates his art beyond mere protection of an otherwise unimpressive binding. Tim O'Neel may be the next century's answer to the question we haven't even thought of yet. And I'm not just saying that because I'm Tim O'Neel's sister.
