A musician, single, forty-two years old.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOn the outer limits of relevancy in an arts culture that celebrates youth, these three men make up the artist group Arcade. Caught in circular arguments about what makes real art and concerned about the vapid interests of their younger contemporaries, none of them are reaping the benefits of success. But there’s always another chance to make it. When it comes time, out of the three, who will emerge as an acclaimed artist? More important, when one artist’s star rises, will he leave the rest behind? Following Yeong-shin Ma’s hit manhwa, \u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMoms\u003c\/i\u003e, this plunge into artistic friendships is as hilarious and infuriating as it is real.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWith absurdist style and off-beat humor, \u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eArtist \u003c\/i\u003esimultaneously caricatures and complicates the figure of the artist. The friendships between the three are impassioned and mercurial, resulting in conflicts about fashion choices, squabbles with foreign children, and changes in one another’s artistic fortunes for better and worse. As the story progresses we see the ways that recognition—or lack thereof—molds each character’s outlook, whether they will be changed by the scene or end up changing it to fit their ideals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"MPS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40455644872758,"sku":"9781770466173","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0260\/3030\/9430\/products\/ARTIST.cover_.web_-scaled.jpg?v=1665012776","url":"https:\/\/shop.floatingworldcomics.com\/products\/artist-gn","provider":"Floating World Comics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
