Book: SKIP, by David Newsom


Viggo Mortensen and actor / photographer David Newsom have collaborated to produce Skip, a beautiful book about Newsom's developmentally disabled older brother. I met with Newsom earlier this week in Los Angeles to speak with him about the project, and to take a look at a copy fresh off the presses. Mortensen's Perceval Press printed the book in Spain, and it looks terrific. Skip is a moving portrait in Newsom's prose and images, and I loved it.
