Is Adam an ant or a bookworm?

Adam Ant is working on a new book about his artistic creations throughout his career. (That's one way to put off a comeback in music.)

Tentatively titled "Adam Ant Art," the book would discuss his influences (both musically and visual) and will feature some of Adam's unpublished original artworks, including storyboards for music videos and hand-written lyric sheets.

Essential Works, Adam's literary agent in London, says the book -- if published -- will only be sold direct to fans online. "We'd hope to have a decision on whether the book goes ahead within the next couple of months," says EW's Michael Gray. Adam previously released an autobiography -- "Stand And Deliver" -- in 2006.

The art book would also feature a CD featuring songs from Adam's September 2007 performance at the Bloomsbury Theatre in London  -- his first live concert in several years.

What a coincidence, it just so happens that I'm considering a book on my "artistic creations".

It's tenatively titled "Crap In My Garage".

How nice. Sounds like old AA was doing some spring cleaning and came across the box with all his old projects in it and thought "how can make money with this junk."

This also gives me the excuse to share this little gem, which makes me laugh:

Jane, great picture. It almost looks like Adam was the first true Jack Sparrow. I had such a huge, perverted crush on him.

It may be fashionable now to poke fun at AA, but I'd place "Stand and Deliver" in my top 10 early 80's tunes. While the rest of "Prince Charming" was crap, that single was one of his best.
