A selection of unpublished writings from visual artist jonmarc edwards, “How my Pictures Come From; writings from the eighties.” consists of personal photos, sketchbook notes, film scenarios, letters, an interview, song lyrics and much more! These writings reflect a time as JMe puts it, “when the art world was his escargot.” JMe explores many different paths of the creative process and ultimately seeks to deconstruct artistic commercial ambition with social responsibility and naive self-aggrandizement. This book is the first of several volumes in the works archiving the 1980’s oeuvre of JMe.
