Michael S Moore: 89 Auto Biographies


"I am making a book consisting of the 89 "Auto Biographies"  [http://www.mikesmooreptgs.com/autobios_2013_stan/index.html] plus 22 drawings of "Every House I Ever Lived in from Memory" [http://www.mikesmooreptgs.com/every%20house/index.html] to be published under my Wall Spring Press imprint sometime quite soon, September of 2013 most likely. Together these two series comprise an idiosyncratic, illustrated account of my life in cars, houses, and, increasingly, life experiences [for those interested enough to decipher the text] up to the present day. On the other hand, taking text as texture, there are close to three hundred little line drawings floating among the scrawled letters that should be pleasure enough."

INTERNATIONAL SCOUT II, CORAL GABLES




from Javier Reyes, in Miami:
'I found the Scout II parked next to Salvador Park Tennis Courts in Coral Gables. Developed by George Merrick beginning in the 1920’s, Coral Gables is lushly landscaped and wooded, with old oaks, mahoganies, Black Olives, Ficuses. It also has its share of exotic trees that Merrick had shipped from all over the world. Palm trees, of course, are abundant..."--JR
