Forty paintings and related poems by artist Frank O’Cain. Frank O’Cain is a noted instructor at the Art Students League of New York. His abstract paintings are inspired by his studies of nature, history, and music. His work and teaching carries on an approach to painting and seeing the world that comes down from Cezanne, through the work of Hans Hofmann and Hofmann’s student Vaclav Vytlacil, who O’Cain studied with for many years. Now, Frank O’Cain’s instruction has influenced the work of new generations of students. This book hopes to share many of Frank O’Cain’s favorite paintings with those who have worked with him over the years.

Hailing from Manchester, England, sophisticated pop purveyors 10cc hit the ground running with their 1972 debut single, ''Donna''. Their pedigree reached back to bassist Graham Gouldman''s songwriting successes in the 1960s, while guitarist and recording engineer Eric Stewart, was already a bonafide pop star having sung the global hit, ''Groovy Kind of Love,'' with The Mindbenders. When the pair teamed up with drummer/singer Kevin Godley and multi-instrumentalist/singer, Lol Creme, the combination produced four hit albums including Sheet Music and The Original Soundtrack. The group also enjoyed ten successful singles including the classic I''m Not In Love. Their music was defined by eclectic, boundary-pushing pop that earned them comparisons to The Beatles while still occupying a unique position in music.

   Departing in 1976, Godley and Creme moved on to create genre-defying experimental records, including the groundbreaking  Consequences, while Gouldman and Stewart continued their run of hit singles and albums with a new 10cc lineup. Their final album was 1995''s Mirror Mirror, a highly respectable full stop on this influential band''s colourful and innovative discography. This book examines every released recording by both Godley & Creme and 10cc, including the band''s debut album under their early name, Hotlegs.

The Vital Needs of the Dead is a tender coming-of-age story set in the provinces of the Soviet Union during the second half of the 20th century. At the center of this story, praised by Russian critics for its blend of realism and lyrical sensibility, lies the relationship of young Gosha Sidelnikov with his alluring and mysterious grandmother Rosa, who becomes his caregiver when he is virtually abandoned by his busy and distant parents. This relationship colors Sidelnikov’s subsequent forays into first love and sexual awakening. Even after her death, memories of Rosa accompany him into his adventures and misadventures as a provincial student. Then, one miserably cold winter night, her voice commands him to immediately depart for a place he’s never been before, precipitating a mysterious chain of events.

This book is the collected images of Joanna Walitalo''s first five years of woodburning artwork. Pyrography, the use of heat or fire to create an image, is an uncommon and sometimes under-appreciated media in the art world and commonly considered more of a craft. Joanna, like many other Midwest kids, was given a craft wood-burner when she was young, tried it once or twice, burnt herself and subsequently put it away. Many years later, she picked it up again, and this time stuck with it, pushing herself to create high detail, realistic artwork. Her professional background in biology, environmental policies and forestry led her to the idea of incorporating what she had learned about wood products into this unique art form, using her skills as an artist to spread the message of love, beauty and respect for the environment and our natural resources. The concept that all of her work is done on scrap wood builds an ethic of recycling into each piece of art. The name J. Walitalo was chosen because it covers both James and Joanna, a husband and wife team. The Walitalos enjoyed this hobby, where they could work together, James preparing and finishing the wood on which Joanna does her artwork. "It is very satisfying to work together to create something unique and special, especially when I can do it with my best friend," Joanna reflects, referring to her husband James. No two pieces are the same because of the wood--each piece is a different size, species and grain. Sometimes it takes a while to find the right piece of wood for a particular image or to find the right image to fit a particular piece of wood. Each piece of art is done freehand, either drawing from life or from looking at reference photos. "Joanna''s vision is honest and straightforward. Walitalo loves wood, and she thoughtfully integrates the natural design of the various wood grains and knots within her rendering. Under Joanna''s experienced craftsmanship, scraps of basswood, pine, curly maple, etc. become her partners in the creative process. Walitalo''s drawings are a wonderful example of the artist uniting her life''s passions with her perfect expressive medium." --Michael Volker, Assistant Professor (Lecturer III) Painting and Drawing, Central Michigan University "An extraordinary convergence of art, personal experience, growth and utilization of a renewable resource as a canvas. The narrative depicts and shares with the reader the thinking of the artist, her experiences in life and in her work. Joanna Walitalo has created a collection of artwork that utilizes pyrography to recognize people, nature and landscapes, and brought it to a single work that shares wood, nature and life." --Andrew J. Storer, Dean, College of Forest Resources and Environmental Science, Michigan Tech University "Joanna Walitalo has an amazing capacity to recognize the personality of her subjects-both animal and human-and infuse that element into the finished piece. Using fine lines in either ink or pyrography, she brings forth the character of the time and place in her art. Her ethics of recycling wood that has either been rejected or has passed its time of usefulness as a product, lends heart and value to her work. This is an artist who loves, understands and values the natural world and can bring nature right into your home. Incredible!" --Barb Rogers, Manager, Wildlife Recovery Association, and retired art instructor

After accepting Lilith''s request for a larger bath, Zagan begins the construction of a grand bath in his castle to reward the services of his subordinates and provide a place of relaxation for Nephy and the other girls. Life in the castle is as peaceful and noisy as ever. However, Bifrons'' evil schemes are advancing toward them, and the mysteries of what Alshiera has been fighting against for so long slowly begin to unravel.

In order to thank Zagan for building the castle''s grand bath, Lilith offers to use her powers to help Zagan and Nephy enjoy a date within their dreams. But will that really work out, considering their devastatingly poor sense of imagination? Meanwhile, the hunt for Shere Khan intensifies as more Archdemons reveal themselves and the looming threat Alshiera has been fighting draws ever closer.

Meanwhile, Zagan also learns from Orias that Nephy’s birthday is coming within the month, and the two Archdemons decide to mark that day as Nephteros’s birthday as well. Much like Nephy, however, Zagan is ignorant of how birthdays work as he tries to plan a surprise for her.

The entire castle is in a celebratory mood, but dark clouds loom over the horizon. Zagan knows of a terrible problem haunting Nephteros that has to be addressed before any sort of celebration is an option, and he still has no idea how to resolve it. What’s more, after a month of relative peace and quiet, Shere Khan and Bifrons finally make their move.
