Pre-Owned Edison Steelhead's Lost Portfolio: Exploratory Studies of Girls and Rabbits (Paperback)

A collection of illustrations of bunnies and girls, done by French's character Edison Steelhead. This book catalogs the moment each picture was drawn as well as mapping the places they were drawn. Both beautiful and disturbing, this book is wonderfully engrossing.

Renee French's small but beautiful book Edison Steelhead's Lost Portfolio: Exploratory Studies of Girls and Rabbits perhaps has many themes, but surely the most obvious is body horror. Each spread includes a soft, detailed charcoal rendering of a girl or a rabbit on the right, with a short, disjointed description on the left. Supposedly written by Edison Steelhead, these descriptions include the condition - whether it is medical, or something like "covered in flying insects" of the drawing, as well as where Edison drew it, what he consumed, as well as some small observations he made while drawing.
