Krystine Kryttre has been published in Raw, Weirdo, Artforum, Go Naked and other high-quality comics anthologies. Hersolo comic-book, Death Warmed Over compiles more obscure shorts she placed in various magazines. But Krystine Kryttre has vanished from the comics pages she used to haunt. Instead, she has been concentrating on paintings, animation and experimental taxidermy and she now shows her works in art galleries. As her Summer 2001 show at La Luz de Jesus Gallery in Los Angeles approaches, Last Gasp as the gallery's publishing partner will offer this excellent coloring book that tells a maybe-not-completely autobiographical story of the apprenticeship of a graphic artist. Printed on the rough paper of old-time coloring books, this Freudian table will show that Kryttre can tell a deep and meaningful (not to mention hilarious) story in a few panels with no text.
