The Book of Lenny: Jonathan Marshall October 20, 2007

Art Palace presents The Book of Lenny, the first one-person gallery
show of Austin-based artist Jonathan Marshall. The first part of an
epic trilogy, The Book of Lenny chronicles the journey of Marshall's
everyman-hero as he navigates a post-apocalyptic landscape aided by a cast of characters that include a Bear and a heavily-mustachioed
"Man-in-Black" and armed with D-I-Y-made tools like a bicycle boat,
sextant and stargazer. The narrative takes place ten years after El
Nada, the catastrophic storm that wipes out most of human civilization. However, far from dire, Marshall's mythology offers possibilities for a new way of living and a new kind of hero.
