"Not Your Typical Political Animal"
NOT YOUR TYPICAL POLITICAL ANIMAL
A personal memoir about growing up "political," featuring drawings and paintingsby guerrilla poster artist Robbie Conal
Published by Art Attack Press: 2009, 68 pages, full-color.
Robbie Conal has never been your typical political animal. Raised by Siamese cats and communists on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, Robbie’s outrage at the misdeeds of politicians engendered a nationwide guerrilla street–postering movement that not only provided a platform for his own discontent, but a brilliantly satirical outlet for like–minded citizens who've relished the presence of his sardonic posters on the streets of their cities for more than 20 years. This time Robbie turns the satire upon himself, revealing his sometimes twisted, always devoted, life-long infatuation with his furry, scaly, and feathery friends in the animal kingdom who share this world with us, as well as the human companions who cherish them.
