"THREE is something of an alternative bible... If you’ve ever believed in or even had a remote dalliance with outsider art, with DIY culture then Penny-Ante should be a name etched onto your heart. Taking contributions, not just cast-offs, from some of the most inspirational minds, activists and artists of their – our, your dammit, generation and putting them all in one beautifully bound place Penny-Ante have created, curated perhaps, a portable haven. So the fat pleb on the bus is gassing you with Dan Brown – fuck them, take Three from your bag and revel in it. Your friends might wonder what the fuss is about but come on in; this can be our little club." (Subba-Cultcha)
"Penny-Ante Book#I begins: "The opinions expressed in Book#I are those of the author and/or artist and are connected in no way to the nonprofits Penny-Ante supports throughout these 300 pages...." Which means that in addition to the canoodling of stories, drawings and poems re: offensive stuff including (but not limited to) sex, drugs and rock & roll from a grip of artists, writers and folks like Devendra Banhart, Jim James (heard of him?) and Marissa Nadler, you also get information re: the Children With AIDS Project's art gallery, an LA-based program called Free Arts for Abused Children and a performance troupe called Art of Bleeding that's "dedicated to providing alarmingly unorthodox programs in first aid and safety education"(?). It's a visual stunner and a good concept: an art book that sucks us in with flitty indie solipsism and sends us out with knowledge of how to ante up." (Fader)
"...An indispensable avenue for artistic advancement in the digital age, the Internet offers unprecedented access to genre-bending, free-form
art collectives. But, for all the alternatives, the one thing you can't find cruising the info superhighways and byways is a tangible, lovingly crafted art
book in three dimensions — the kind that is an experience in and of itself. Thinking along these nostalgic lines, the publishers of Penny-Ante
have just released the second in their annual alt-culture anthology of text and art by some the most gifted thinkers ever to rock the page." (Flavorpill)
"Pretty goddamn gravy..." (Bull Tongue)
"Those tissues coated in your favorite celeb's snot can be thrown in the trash now, because there's a better, less germy way to gain access to the intimate, behind-the-scenes lives of rock stars. [Penny-Ante] is a gargantuan 300-page collection of interviews, artwork, short stories, photography, letters, discarded lyrics, poetry, and more, from a slew of indie and folk luminaries." (Pitchfork)
