KANYE WEST - THROUGH THE WIRE

Kanye West hooked up with Bill Plympton to put together an illustrated book featuring the words and lyrics of Kanye West. Bill Plympton's newest feature film, Idiots and Angels, was released last year, and featured the music of Tom Waits, Moby and Pink Martini. Through The Wire releases November 10th.

Through the Wire is a graphic memoir that illustrates the lyrics of twelve Kanye West songs to tell his story, from his decision to drop out of college to pursue his dreams in music, through his days spent folding chinos at the Gap while struggling at night to make a name as a producer, through the pivotal car accident that eventually set him on the course to stardom and the epiphany of realizing exactly who he had become.
