What Dedication Looks Like

Sam Riley bio ↓ · July 22nd, 2011 · filed under art, books

Remember when R. Crumb blew our minds and our concept of dedication with his thorough illustration of the Bible?

That project sounded physically and emotionally exhausting. Still, he must have started a trend because artist, Matt Kish, is creating an image for every page of the epic novel, Moby Dick. That is true dedication and stamina. The product of his 552 page labor will even be sustainable—he’s using discarded books and a hodgepodge of DIY-style materials. Get ready. It’s coming soon.

This is The Rumpus

The Rumpus.net is an online magazine focused on culture, as opposed to "pop culture." Pop culture can be hard to define and the term means different things to different people. Basically, we're not opposed to things that are popular, but we have no interest in "art" created by marketing executives. And we have no interest in derivative art, like images of famous people made from shoelaces or Star Wars characters in funny wigs. (More on what we're about here, here, and here.)

The Rumpus is not worried about being the first to break the news. We care about good writing, and we'll publish essays just because the writing is good. And we won't run a well crafted meditation alongside an actor's opinion of the war in Iraq. (more)
