Confetti

What's perhaps most remarkable about this art book is its breadth. Curated from the work of Toronto-based Etsy star Lapalme, it spans a number of different mediums, including comics, sketch, sculpture, and collage. Lapalme's work is impressively wideranging even within one medium, such as comics, where it sometimes channels the indie cartoony styles of Marc Bell and Ron Rege and others times is more akin to the work of Lisa Hanawalt, albeit less direct in its punchlines. The book is colorful, grotesquely adorable, and humorous in its nonsensical absurdity throughout. Some commentary might benefit the book, but letting the art stand on its own makes the whole thing play out like a paperback Tumblr account, a setting that's probably the ideal setting for Lapalme's work.
