Don Nace's art has appeared in The Quarterly and Antaeus. He has worked as a ranch hand, teacher, advertising art director, and factory worker. Nace recently retired from a long career as a scenic painter and designer for movies and theater in New York City. His artwork has appeared in a number of films ranging from Fatal Attraction (see Glenn Close's phone-side doodlings) to the 2004 re-make of The Manchurian Candidate (graffiti on the boarding house walls of Jeffrey Wright's shell-shocked madman). More recently he has worked with Julie Taymor on a production of Across the Universe. In 2005 Nace's first book, a life in drawings entitled Drawn Out, was published by Soft Skull Press. Set in peculiarly American landscapes, Drawn Out is by turns brilliantly funny, deeply soulful, and quietly tragic. Don Nace lives in South Nyack, NY. To view more of his work, visit www.donnacecom.
