Both the volume and the brilliance of the work Michael Malpass created in his short life is something to behold. Humdinger is a compelling visual and emotional journey through the life and work of this extraordinary artist, as could only be told by his son of the same name, with help from the family he loved dearly, and the friends he touched. Page after eye-catching page reveals not only the whimsical "chicken men" sculptures and intricate spheres for which Malpass is best known, but also shares much of the the illustration, collage, jewelry, and poetry he created, offering even more insight into the mind of a remarkable artist. Blending his son's narrative with the artist's own words and anecdotes from those who knew him best, Humdinger takes us beyond Malpass' astonishing body of work, to the man behind the artist, and in doing so invites the reader to experience a truly unique level of understanding and appreciation.

Review
"This beautifully crafted book offers an indelible portrait of a sensitive artist, his spirited psyche, and his diverse body of work; it is also a son's loving homage."
--Publishers Weekly
"Humdinger is a magnificent work of art itself; a fitting testimonial to the art and life of artist, sculptor Michael Allen Malpass, a New Jersey artist, whose work over a very short life, is enduring, and memorialized in this incredible book."
