Imagine the world with artist & storyteller Brian Andreas
through thought provoking and entertaining books.

 
       
       
   


Some Kind of Ride

Brian's newest book, a beautiful hardcover collection of stories filled with laughter & a quirky mix of dark & light. The colorful artwork leaps off the page while the stories bring you right to the heart of how it feels to be alive today.  $29.95
 

 
Going Somewhere Soon

Updated in June, 2004 with a Pumpkin colored cover. This is the third book, completed on Valentine's Day, 1995. While the first two books were done in Berkeley, this book was done in Iowa , where the artist
moved with his family after 16 years in Los Angeles and San Francisco. One of his collectors has said that his stories make perfect sense for someone who's lived in Hollywood, Silicon Valley and Iowa, so maybe this third book is about coming home. This book carries some of the most resonant stories including "Butterflies" and "Chihuahua".  $14.95
   
         
   


Mostly True

Updated in October, 2005 with a bright red cover. This is the first book of the trilogy, filled with quirky stories and drawings. This book was transferred directly from the first StoryPeople sculptures at the request of a fanatical group of San Francisco Bay area collectors. It includes some of the best known stories, including "Flying Woman" and "Believing My Father". Our galleries recommend this book as the starter (if you're forced to restrain yourself to just one...) It is printed on archival 70 lb. text paper, so it handles almost any abuse.  $14.95


 


Strange Dreams

Updated in October, 2005, with an azure blue cover. The fourth book of the trilogy, Strange Dreams, appears to have been completed on the artist's birthday in September, 1996, but that's only because you can do what you'd like with time when you're printing books yourself.  $14.95

   
         
   



Still Mostly True

Updated in July, 2005 with an Aqua color cover. This is the second book, first published in 1994. It includes over 80 stories and drawings. Many of our collectors have said this book expands on the laughter and lunacy of the first book, Mostly True. It includes such favorites as "Angels of Mercy" and "True Things".  $14.95

 
Hearing Voices

Updated in June, 2004, with a lime green colored cover. Hearing Voices is the fifth book of the trilogy. (Brian says he's going to try & stretch the trilogy concept into a mini-series. This book, like all the others, is hard to categorize, but if we had to, we'd say it's the most domestic of the books. It is a book that speaks to the real magic & wonder that you find in everyday moments, living with people in all their glorious strangeness. With over 120 stories & drawings woven together, it gives a quirky (but true) form to what it feels like to be alive at the turn of the Millennium...  $14.95
   
         
   



Traveling Light

Traveling Light is Brian's first hardcover book. It's filled with beautiful, fun, lively & haunting color illustrations. It vibrates with light (that's the only way we can describe it. Once you hold it in your hands, see if you can come up with a better description. We'd love to hear it...) That's not even talking about the stories themselves. This book is filled with all new stories that range from poignant to wry. It's a gem of a book that will delight for years to come...  $29.95
 

 



Trusting Soul

Updated in June 2003, with a purple cover. Trusting Soul is the sixth book of Brian's trilogy - see, we told you he was going to stretch this "trilogy" thing! You could consider this book packed full of gifts for the future. Gifts of laughter & silliness. Of questions that quite possibly have no answer. Of moments that tie together in a net that will always catch you, whether you believe it or not.  $14.95
