An Alphabetical Ballad of Carnality: A BLAB! Storybook

by David Sandlin
This ABC for sinners spotlights creator David Sandlin's alter ego, recounting his lurid life in rhyming couplets: a "sintamental education" in 26 easy steps, from "Adultery" to "Zealotry." Sandlin's storybook can best be described as narrative painting, taking advantage of the way in which art allows the artist to bring together the conscious and the subconscious, the rational and the irrational, and the realistic and the dreamlike.
