We sat down with Alex Pappademas (PAPPADEMAS) and Joan LeMay (joanlemay)—the writer and illustrator of 'Quantum Criminals'—to talk about how, together, they brought the universe of Steely Dan to life.
If you are unfamiliar with the University of Texas Press’ American Music Series, then I implore you to get hip as quickly as you can. From Margo Price’s, the books coming out of the Longhorn State are unequivocally changing the landscape of music criticism and history. That’s wherecomes in. In one fell swoop, it has become the essential Steely Dan book. And you should absolutely be reading it right now.
Even when I was outlining the book, even before Joan came on board, I was thinking about it in broken-down, smaller bits and looking at it like mini-essays about key themes that I would then shuffle around and make into a narrative.
In a median sense, how long did it take you to start and finish each illustration that wound up in the book? There was a book a long time ago, “Writers on Famous Rock Feuds,” and I was supposed to write a piece about the Eagles and Steely Dan and, somehow, I just went into a tunnel and didn’t complete it. I find the Eagles and Steely Dan relationship to be really interesting because it’s not really a feud. It’s more a nemesis relationship, like “We’re not so different, you and I.” And I’m fascinated by that.
LeMay: Yeah, there were so, so many characters. One of the things we were being cognizant of when we were planning this out was to try and be relatively equitable between albums. We could’ve gone absolutely bananas with depicting a ton of the latter day characters, but we also chose who I was interested in painting and who was going to be a good focus point for what Alex wanted to talk about.
