Frank the Painter

Frank the painter longs for an orderly and predictable life...but, sadly, it is not to be.

Frank the painter's great mission is to renovate Cleveland with his Sistine Chapel-inspired garage art. A big distraction, however, is his lust for beautiful Carla Gymboni, the diminutive mob boss of Cuyahoga County-an obsession that has driven him to clandestine acts of stationery crime. But unforeseen events are about to radically change Frank the painter's life, providing him with an instant family and a motley crew of unusual acrobatic friends. And in the wake of a violent hometown terror attack, he'll find himself careening from breakdown to recovery, from Michelangelo to mandalas, from capitalism to crime fighting, in search of truth, ethical purpose, and a spiritual epiphany or two.

Welcome to Frank the painter's world-a surreal yet strangely recognizable realm populated by gangsters and goons, villains and vigilante do-gooders, little people, Native Americans, superheroes, circus performers, and a hermaphrodite child who just might be humanity's best and last hope.
