Keep the Kid AliveKeep the Kid Alive, Arielle Bobb Williss first book, invites audiences into a brightly imaginative world, filled with dynamic colors, gestures, and unusual poses of the artists own creation. Transforming the streets of New Orleans, New York, and Los Angeles into lush backdrops for her wonderfully surreal tableaus, Bobb Willis makes unforgettable images that expand the genres of fashion and art photography.
