The Ulysses Guide To The Los Angeles River

From the stables of GK Editions comes another exciting prospect, and we don’t doubt that as two of the world’s greatest purveyors of tattoo art books, Grime and Horitaka have produced another thrilling publication.

The Ulysses Guide To The Los Angeles River explores the culture of Los Angeles via its hardiest and longest-serving resident: The River. This first volume focuses on both the biology and art surrounding the mighty river, with the artistic contributions coming from luminaries like Jack Rudy and Chuey Quintanar, amongst many others.

According to the authors’ description, “This book is borne from a fascination and love that precedes the attention that has shifted back to this flow. Fathered by the late Ulysses Zemanova and further nurtured by its co-authors/editors, The Ulysses Guide to the Los Angeles River (UGLAR) moves beyond the overexposed culture of graffiti and misunderstood world of scientific discovery. UGLAR wishes to bring to light the authors' interest, if only to spawn more within its readers.”
