RELEASE DAY!

Paint-by-Numbers is a collection of new, unpublished short stories by Chicago-based Dmitry Samarov about painting, painters, and living as an artist when so many artists are absolute pieces of shit.

Dmitry's books have been a favorite for a while and we're very happy to be releasing this audio book of his newest work.

Dmitry doesn't use social media go here, sign up for his newsletter, and enjoy the mystery.

When Dmitry Samarov writes about art what you get is more memoir and short story than “arts writing.” This is not some douchebag critic’s pretentious, academic, boring assessment of What Art Means. Paint-by-Numbers is one guy’s look at art as he knows it, paintings he’s done, gallery experiences, shitheads he’s witnessed shitheading around. It’s funny and it’s real and it’s deeply personal. This is a work of honesty and humanity. A Moveable Feast meets the letters of Van Gogh. -Adam Gnade 

Pre-order available now. 

Out June 3rd.

Image from Music To My Eyes by Dmitry Samarov, local artist and author of Hack: Stories From a Chicago Cab Driver. Thoughts and sketches about the many performances he's attended (music, lit, and more). A wonderful portrait of Chicago from the late 90s up to the present in autobiographical form. #dmitrysamarov #musictomyeyes #tortoisebooks @tortoise.books (at Quimby's Bookstore) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv66UwagoK6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1knme3e2mgxqd
