Gregg and I attended to the book-signing-party held in L.A.for
THE ULYSSES GUIDE TO THE LOS ANGELES RIVER
Published by Christopher Brand, Evan Skrederstu, Steve Martinez
And J. Matthew Brand. Artists involved in this project participated
In creating a mural which will tour L.A., S.F., N.Y., & Japan.
Ulysses was born in 1937 in L.A.; the only child of Yuri Zemanova, a
Hungarian immigrant, and Yolonda Rodriguez, a Honduran-American
Woman. He was an exceptional student, self-taught in many disciplines.
H was a successful business man who traveled around the world.
When his industries was destroyed by fire, he escaped to Asia. He
Returned to L.A. in 2001 and became preoccupied with a nostalgia for
His youth. He began exploring the L.A. River--which had changed
Drastically since his childhood. This led to extensive note-taking and
Research, and planning to publish about his work. In late 2006, Ulysses
Was found dead mysteriously in Philippines.
