# Alake Shilling: The Hippest Trip in America: By Land, Air and Sea - Hardcover

by **Alake Shilling** (Artist), **Viola Angiolini** (Editor), **Kidogo K. Kennedy** (Text by (Art/Photo Books))

**The art of Alake Shillings offers a colorful nostalgic romp through childhood iconography**

In the paintings and sculptures of Los Angeles-based artist Alake Shilling (born 1993), cutesy characters and plush creatures travel through a saturated world where disco and Lisa Frank aesthetics collide, often in a grassy knoll or ocean swell. Indeed, Shilling derives much inspiration from her childhood obsession with Frank and the design style of after-school crafts--imagery that connotes comfort and innocence. Unlike the works of Frank, however, Shilling's painted characters contain imperfections, a sense of vulnerability and weariness that adults know all too well.  
In _The Hippest Trip in America: By Land, Air and Sea_, the artist's works are paired with her source material, and texts by artists and writers Laura Owens, Kidogo Kennedy, Perwana Nazif and Grant Levy-Lucero are interspersed throughout. In a delightful nod to Frank, a sticker sheet insert is included on the back cover of the book.
