"I wanted more than salvation. I wanted to be in the belly of the whale," Don Nace states in this first collection of his art. Reminiscent of Harvey Pekar's "American Splendor" and R. Crumb's twisted autobiographical art, "Drawn Out" delineates a childhood shadowed by the tragic loss of his father, through the sometimes agonizing, sometimes euphoric process of self-discovery, to love, marriage, and fatherhood. Nace started drawing as a small child for solace in an uncertain world. "Drawn Out" distills thousands of those drawings into a powerful essence. Set in peculiarly American landscapes from the vast Southwest to teeming New York, "Drawn Out" offers an intimate look at the artist's relationship to God, alcoholics, women, work, and the crushing details of daily existence that make the story a rich, complex tapestry. The lines bind together fear and joy into the cloth that lets the artist dress after being stripped naked by the daily events of being alive.
