Brandon Boyd at Book Passage
So The Echo ($49.95)
visually weaves the past five years for Brandon
Boyd, who spent much time honing his craft, displaying his work, and
using art as a tool for activism. Beautifully designed, the book reveals many
new sketches and works with watercolor and other experimental techniques, as
well as very personal photos and journal entries. There is a breath and space
to the book and artwork that is a departure from his previous publications but
the intimacy remains very much intact.
Brandon’s life is certainly one characterized by creativity and
self-expression, and though best known as the singer for the rock band Incubus,
he is also visual artist for whom art has played a consistent and powerful role
throughout his life. He is the author of two additional books combining his
artwork, photography and creative writing: White Fluffy Clouds (2003) and From
the Murks of the Sultry Abyss (2007).
