Heart of darkness.

This collection of artwork was inspired by a series of notes editor Trinie Dalton confiscated during her years as an LA-area substitute teacher. The 1-page pieces are manic and full of feeling; in them, bad grammar and sketchy sentiments become articulate, even eloquent. Flipping through this book is like taking a journey through the dark heart of modern American adolescence. It's sad, funny, and not a little scary.
