Come late September, I will have relocated myself, my wife and my business to North Carolina. My P.O. box here in Tucson will still be the snail mail way to get in touch with me. (P.O. Box 161, Tucson, Arizona 85702). My email, phone, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, my store, my bandcamp, my patreon, will all be the same. Ordering prints and books will be iffy for a while but I'll do my best during the time of transition.
And look for my 14th book for sale in November.
Cherry Picking Leviticus (Pamela's Baby Rocking Chair, Vol. 2).
It'll be available as a premium trade paperback and as a affordable e-book. Below is the preface to the book.
Anywho, see you on the flip side from the Piedmont of North Carolina. Wish me luck as I drive a Penske truck across the country. And don't forget to register to vote and cast your ballot in November. It's the most important election of our lifetimes.
Resist. Impeach. Pray. Renew.

Preface by Stu Jenks
Cherry Picking Leviticus is my fifteenth book. Like my previous tomes, there are some semi-iconic photographs and such, but unlike my other books, this one is purposefully funny. And political. And spiritual. And a little sad. But funny is what we are mostly going for here, like a raspy chuckle in the night from a wounded man while the civilized world burns down around him.
Dark stuff. Fun stuff. Good times.
The dedication for Cherry Picking Leviticus is a quote from my good friend Karen Hardy who lives in the Northern Neck of Virginia. We were talking on the phone a while back, mostly about how her mother Victoria was doing, when I mentioned how I perhaps care too much regarding what other people think, and that I'm more than a little sensitive to snarky art criticism from strangers on the internet.
Then Karen spoke this chestnut:
"They talked about Jesus Christ, Stu,” she said. “They are going to talk about you and me, too."
Hi Stu,
I am now a big fan of your friend Karen. Well, ice tea & stuff just came out my nose, so it must be funny or something very much like it. I am happy that you and Alexa are going to be a bit closer to your cousins and eastern US friends. Hopefully, I will get a chance to call & catch-up without falling asleep before dialing. Have a safe trip. Later Cuz!
