Add to basketPamphlet. Condition: Very Good. Privately published, [No date: circa 2007]. Pamphlet, 28 pp.; 23 cm (6 in. x 9 in.); hand-sewn string binding through the gutter; hand-drawn ink illustrations printed in three colors (black line work layered over teal and green color blocks) on cream kraft paper. In Very Good condition. Three-colo…r printed illustrated paper wraps with hand-lettered titling "I Thought I Knew Everything / By Daniel A. St. George II" and crude ink figures, cabin, and landscape motifs on the front cover. Small nick on the fore-edge of the front cover. Mild shelf wear. Binding tight. Interior pages unmarked. Artist's hand-lettered signature "D. St. George" appears on one interior comic panel. "I thought I knew everything" is a raw, confessional zine by Daniel Anthony St. George 2nd (credited on the interior title page as "Daniel Anthony St. George II") comprising hand-drawn comic panels, spreads, and full-page illustrations exploring themes of love, heartbreak, identity, and disillusionment. Imagery includes a four-panel conversation with "Chuck" about not knowing anything about love, a crowd of block-headed green figures, two hooded and scribble-faced strangers in a cloud-dotted landscape, a face split across the gutter, a Chicken Little sky-is-falling motif, a pine-tree-headed figure, and a tentacled figure. Hand-lettered text passages move between comic dialogue and aphorism, with lines such as "The older I got the less I knew," "Fame, money, power, women," "So last in whom you could have been, then who you are?" and "I'm OK, you're not so hot" recurring across the spreads. A handmade, limited-production artist's book from the mid-2000s DIY zine scene. Daniel Anthony St. George 2nd (also known as DSG2 or AZStar78) is a self-taught Brooklyn-based artist, designer, and printmaker whose body of work includes paintings, drawings, prints, and self-published zines. His work is intensely personal and semi-autobiographical, an abstract narrative of his own life and relationships. He founded the clothing line Spiked Punch in 2001 and has worked as an art director and product designer, with collaborations reported with Stussy, 111 Minna Gallery, Giant Robot, and Jeremyville.
