This 124 page softcover autobiography features color reproductions of ManWoman's work.
In 1998, Keith organized the "[[Night of 1000 Scars]]" party in NYC, which was best described by [[Shawn Porter]] as "an evening of modification, sin and debauchery."

This was a promotional event for the Dee Snider movie [[Strangeland]] for which Keith Alexander designed the piercings. Keith also played guitar with Dee Snider's SMF. He was the original guitar player for Carnivore as well.


"The 40 hauntingly beautiful paintings in this autobiography express man's longing to go home to God. Not the repressive God of organized religion, but the sacred, loving spirit that creates mankind and the universe. ManWoman's art takes you to that place of eternal peace."
Sadly, Keith Alexander was killed in a road cycling accident on July 11, 2005.
