PEOPs Book
by fly
A collection of portraits and stories about people Fly met from all over the world. This idea emerged from sketchbooks she kept while on tour with
God Is My Co-Pilot
. The drawings and conversations reveal a hidden history - the people, ideas and events that are not usually covered by popular media, the surprisingly deep and beautiful way in which people can communicate with one another. Everyone has an incredible story to tell and deserves to be listened to. Fly has been squatting in the Lower East Side of Manhattan since 1990 where she paints and draws for the New York Press, Village Voice, San Francisco Bay Guardian, Raygun, Bikini, World War III Illustrated, Punk Planet, Maximumrocknroll, Slug & Lettuce and numerous other publications. Fly has also produced countless zines & comics over the past 2 decades.

This book was so amazing that I couldn't keep it. I had to pass it on for a friend to enjoy, in hopes that she would pass it onto others.
Im not the best at putting my thoughts in to actual words but I'll give it a shot because this book is worth it.
Some people might disagree how amazing this book really is because they feel it has "too many pictures" but personally I feel the portraits of the people talking go so well with the stories that are being told. One minute you're on a page with a 9 year old talking about being raised in a squat then on the next page you have someone talking about how they kept walking (and eventually swimming) in a straight line until they got into Canada. Its an inspiring book that has shook me out of the rut ive been in.
