by LG Williams

On the ninth day of Holiday, my LA friend
gave to me… The SubPrime Mortgage
Crisis Bailout Coloring Book.
Who Would This Be Great For? The
young, contemporary art aware Angeleno
with a sense of humor, who Outside The
Lines was a bit too obvious a gift for.
Who Is Giving This Gift? For the
contemporary art watcher who wants to
give local art at an affordable price.
Why This Gift? From local gallery
lampooner LG Williams is a two
hundred seven paged “advice and self-
help” coloring book. What about? The
mortgage crisis! Both straightforward
commentary on American economic
issues and yet another funny take on how
artists handle these big issues, the
coloring book is series of numbers meant
to introduce American kids to “the
unprecedented burden imposed on them
and generations to come.” How fabulous
is this? It is not only educational but it is
artistic—and brilliant.
Where Can You Get It? The coloring
book is available online here and is
retailing for $29.95.
