While not exactly the book we were expecting from Kanye West, Uh Huh Honey, will have to do until then. The latest in the trend of Rupi Kaur’s Milk and Honey parodies, Uh Huh Honey immortalizes Kanye’s tweets with accompanying illustrations by the author Red Gaskell.

The book features some of Kanye’s more recent tweets, following themes of creativity and expressing one’s self.

In the book, Kanye’s inspiring tweets are accompanied by sketches by Gaskell, which he shared on his twitter.

I got in touch with Gaskell and asked him a few questions about his work, mostly about what inspired him to publish Uh Huh Honey.
Kanye’s back on twitter and he’s been waxing poetic about life, creativity, and greatness. Everyone, whether they hate him or love him has been talking about him and his tweets. That was fun and entertaining but I wanted to make something.
When I asked him about if he would produce similar works for tweets from celebrities and political figures like Cher or Donald Trump, he responded with “I don’t know maybe.”
