Overview
The typewriter idea got my attention, but the writing kept me hooked. Franki's stories have soul and wit, but are also made of real flesh and blood. --Drew Dernavich, cartoonist for The New Yorker Franki Elliot's creative writing experiment is proving to be a unique blend of performance art, public art, literature, and text-based multimedia. --L.A. Weekly Sometimes I run across a poem that makes me second guess my opinion on poetry. It could be a line in the poem that impresses me. Or a person in the poem that makes me wonder what he'd be like in another situation. Or a relationship that makes me want to know if it worked out. Or a memory I have while reading the poem. For me, Piano Rats by Franki Elliot had all of the above. --Chicago Tribune Kiss As Many Women As You Can presents new Franki Elliot typewriter stories in an art book brimming with full-color detachable postcards adorned with Chicagoan Shawn Stucky's ethereal paintings. Stucky's work has been shown across the United States and Europe, most notably at Aldo Castillo Gallery, Chicago (2009); Ferreira Projects, London (2008); and Sundlaugin (the recording studio of Sigur Ros) in Mosfellsbaer, Iceland (2007). Franki Elliot is a music industry professional making a name for herself by crafting typewritten stories for people upon the suggestion of a word or phrase, as covered by L.A. Weekly and Flavorpill. Curbside Splendor published her first book Piano Rats to critical acclaim.
