WELL-FED ARTIST PRESS is my artist-run imprint. I think it's important for visual and performing artists to create opportunities for themselves, even as they participate in more conventional commercial ventures. Well-Fed Artist Press has to date produced four publications: a full-length memoir, two exhibition catalogs, and a volume celebrating the 10-year anniversary of one series, Silk Road. These publications are printed by Magcloud and are available through them.
2019
208 pages, fully illustrated
Subtitled Growing Up Italian, Coming Out, and Making a Life in
Art, this volume recounts my Italian-American childhood in the Fifties, coming of age in the Sixties, coming out as gay
in the Seventies, and my ongoing life as an artist. Writing in Two Coats of
Paint, Sharon Butler describes the volume as “a personal pleasure and a
professional revelation.”
