Shostakovichs Suit + Sans Sucre
Ward Schumaker 
Shostakovich is a hand-painted book, created in 2004, with pages 13″ w x 19″ h, 64 pages.
Shostakovich Suit – (something fun and charming from Ward – he is a great story teller).
I’d come down to the waterfront earlier in the evening, to the offices of Walter Landor, advertising man and San Francisco celebrity, a man who carried on his business aboard an old ferryboat, The Klamath, berthed at Pier Five. Landor died recently but his company continues on the boat. (read more here.)
“My hand-painted book, 5-and-Dime Deluxe, will be shown in UNBOUND, an exhibition at the Lesher Center for the Arts’ Bedford Gallery, July 11 thru September 19, 2010.”
