Kiss As Many Women As You Can

The typewriter idea got my attention, but the writing kept me hooked.
Frankis stories have soul and wit, but are also made of real esh and blood. Drew Dernavich Cartoonist for The New Yorker
Shawns work makes me remember the couple occasions when I torn an old house up to redo it and could see through space or holes in the old oorboards, magic dark space where objects could have fallen for a hundred years and lay there waiting to be discovered. Shawns stu feels to me like the wonderful thing I always hoped Id nd there and havent yet. Steven Conrad Screenwriter, Film Producer, and Director (The Pursuit of Happyness, The Weather Man)
Franki Elliots creative writing experiment is proving to be a unique blend of performance art, public art, literature, and text-based multimedia. L.A. Weekly

About two years ago, Franki Elliot (author of critically acclaimed Piano Rats) met a Craigslist stranger at Dunkin Donuts, gave her sixty bucks and left with a 1970s baby blue Smith Corona typewriter. Soon after, she began asking people to send her topics to write about because she was tired of writing about herself. In search of new material, Elliot began carrying the typewriter to various festivals, beaches, flea markets and let strangers come up to her, request a topic, and leave with a story. As Elliot wrote, she also took pictures of her favorite stories and eventually turned them into Kiss As Many Women As You Can. The stories are complimented with stunning artwork by Shawn Stucky, who is a red/green color blind artist located in Chicago. Stucky has done everything from carving eyeglasses out of wood, adorning fire hydrants throughout Chicago with his masterful art, designing tattoos, live screen printing, mural painting and, of course, creating books. Elliot, who is Los Angeles based via hometown Chicago, is a music industry professional by day and writer by night.
