Fueled by an urge toward visual and narrative experimentation and enabled by serendipitous bouts of insomnia, Stein has combined words and images in a series of comic strips, paintings, and collages that reflect upon her life as a bartender, musician and artist living in New York. Bright-Eyed At Midnight collects the best of the 365 pages she'll do in 2014: by turns funny, unsettling, charming, improvisational, honest, evocative, and perspicacious, Stein explores her 1980s childhood, dreams, her bar patrons, Jim Hendrix, travel and much more.
