Newest addition to the coffeetable crate: Ty's compilation of photos and commentary from his past. A damn-why-didn't-I-think-of-that idea. A hell of a combination of the outside and inside Ty, stirred together in a mix of words and images and thoughts that's both satisfying and exceptional. Some of the best of Ty I've seen. And that says something.
Ty and I have talked a lot about how and why and whether he should try
to focus/collect some work in one direction or another. I suspect this
collection just happened naturally, because adhering to limits—constraints—isn't part of Ty's character. But I can't help but be happy to see it happen.
When Ty is gone and someone tries to publish a collection of his work, they're not going to be able to narrow it down, and that's part of its beauty. It's going to have to be one very, very large mixed-media tome. In fact, book a room. Better yet, a wing.
