A collection of portraits and stories about people underground artist Fly met while touring the world with the popular cult band God is My Co-Pilot, Peops brings together sketches and conversations, culled mostly from spare moments between sound checks and performing and loading equipment, that reflect the surprisingly deep and beautiful way that strangers sometimes communicate with one another. As Fly puts it, everyone has an incredible story to tell, and everyone deserves to be listened to. Illustrated with 50 b/w and 50 colour portraits.
fly i love your book. i wrote a prior review and don't see it anymore so i'll start over. fly draws local people on the lower east side of nyc some who i know some i don't and other's that live in other places. around her drawing she writes what each person wants to talk about. its a really cool idea and underneath the words and drawings is a description of who the person is and how fly met them. i'm looking forward to a peops 2. keep at it fly love your work
You'll start mentally peop-ing the people in your life

Fly has made a beautiful tribute to her outside-the-mainstream East Village friends and neighbors. Completely compelling and bears infinite rereads. This is a real slice o' New York living. I learned a lot about people I've wondered about for years.
