i've read it many times through the years

This lavishly illustrated biography of David Gilhooly follows his career from his student years, doing ceramic sculpture at the University of California-Davis where "Nut Art," later called "funk," emerged in the 1960's, through to the early 1990's, when he established his own press and print studio. Among the illustrations are works by artists with whom Gilhooly has been associated, including Robert Arneson and Wayne Theibaud.
