All and Sundry corrals critically-acclaimed author and artist Paul
Hornschemeier’s work from the last five years — work previously ungathered, and
in many cases never before seen in print.
These works span the globe, from periodicals to museums, including:
conceptual drawings and comics of Ulysses S. Grant created for an exhibit in
Paris; an award-winning cover exhibited in the Victoria and Albert Museum in
London; the seventeen-part serialized tale of divine intervention,
non-linearity, and social webs “Huge Suit Visits the People” created for the
celebrated German newspaper Frankurter Allgemeine Zeitung; and comic strips for
The Wall Street Journal and CNN featuring the unlikely cartoon protagonists of
Michael Jackson, Sylvester Stallone as Rambo, and the “gray fox,” Anderson
Cooper. In addition to these oddities, All and Sundry collects covers and
designs from multiple foreign editions of Paul’s books, ranging from Holland to
Korea; recent album art for David Byrne's Luaka Bop record label; a
collaboration with celebrated comics humorist Michael Kupperman (Tales Designed
to Thrizzle); as well as short, illustrated prose (thus far seen only in the
pages of the anthology Mome).
The collection concludes with extensive selections from sketches and
sketchbooks, providing an unusual glimpse at the chaotic world of
Hornschemeier’s work, before the polishing of lines and colors of the printed
page. Here we see how works have developed and what the future holds for still
gestating projects.
All and Sundry, perhaps more than any previous collection of Hornschemeier’s
work, demonstrates the variety and depth of the artist’s interests and pursuits,
and invites an examination of the entirety of his process, from first fevered
scrawl to final, pristine brush line.
