Here is what the artists/poets say on the Facebook event page:

“Margete Griffin and Darick Taylor have joined forces on 2 books called Ode to the Underground. Our art show will be a blend of both of our styles, using screen prints and photography!

Volume 1 is Brave Hearts: It’s a tribute to our music scene and features some of our tremendous musicians and music venues that are the lifeblood of Jax. We’ve included links to some of our favorites and a glimpse of the diverse indie bands here. There are so many great ones! Another book is sure to follow.

Volume 2 is Kit’nface Speaks. If you are concerned about the direction of Jax, this is a photographic journey with themes for you!

This show combines street style, fine art, and publishing to tell an irreverent but socially relevant tale about Jax culture and how we can keep it alive. I hope you can join us for the book launch and art opening on Sat. The 28th.”
