Molly Barker

This Canadian-Californian painter and printmaker recently escaped from New York back to the SF Bay Area. Her picture stories have been collected in Secret Language from City Lights Books, and in the now out-of-print Quite Mad.

All of the books listed below except for Quite Mad are rare handmade editions of single stories, printed on heavy cardstock with rough-edged two-color covers.
