Bellingham,
WA, February 2004 - Gagné International Press
will release Michel Gagné's 11th hardcover book, Freaky
Flora: From A to Z, in May
2004.
Michel
Gagné, who founded Gagné International
Press with his wife in 1998, is a four-time Annie Award nominated
animator (The Iron Giant, Star
Wars: Clone Wars) as well as the creator of
quirky art books (Insanely Twisted
Rabbits), storybooks (The Towers of
Numar), and comics (ZED).
The
latest
addition to Gagné's ever growing line of bizarre and unusual
books is described as a twisted delight for nature lovers. Gagné
got the idea for the book in 2001 while making Frenzied
Fauna: From A to Z. "Initially, I was going
to make an alphabet book that had both animals and plants. It
was going to be titled Frenzied Fauna and Freaky
Flora:
From A to Z," Gagné
said. "Eventually, I dropped the plant
concept out of the first book and just focused on animals. Freaky
Flora
was shelved for a couple of years. The idea was re-ignited last
year while taking a hike in the woods. Nature is so weird and
inspiring. It's a great springboard for my creativity. I think
fans will get a real kick out of this one."
Freaky
Flora: From A to Z
will solicit through Diamond in the book section of March's Previews.
The 32 pages, full-color hardcover book will retail
at $14.95.
