New Orleans artists who returned: Constance project

Patrick Strange tells BoingBoing,

Constance is an independent publication out of New Orleans that collects the work of 40 artists that have returned to the city after Katrina and also of those who are still displaced. Edited by local graphic designer Erik Kiesewetter and editor/writer Patrick Strange, the book showcases artists' work with bios and contact info so that they can once again gain an audience that they might have lost due to the storm. We're really excited about it and the prospect that people out there will see that the New Orleans arts community is still here and making good work.
