Title: Picture This
Subtitle: The Near-Sighted Monkey Book
Description: **Tutorial, Cartooning, Graphic Diary:**
The creative-drawing companion to the acclaimed and bestselling ***What It Is***

Lynda Barry single-handedly created a literary genre all her own, the graphic memoir/how-to, otherwise known as the bestselling, the acclaimed, but most important, the adored and the inspirational ***What It Is.***  
The R. R. Donnelley and Eisner Award–winning book posed, explored, and answered the question: ***“Do you wish you could write?”*** 

Now with ***Picture This***, Barry asks: ***“Do you wish you could draw?”*** 
It features the return of Barry’s most beloved character, **Marlys**, and introduces a new one, the Near-sighted Monkey.
Like ***What It Is***, ***Picture This*** is an inspirational, take-home extension of Barry’s traveling, continually sold-out, and sought-after workshop, ***“Writing the Unthinkable.”***
