Pre-Order Ritual Machine by Toyoya Li
Surprise book launch! We are ecstatic to be launching a new book by Toyoya Li in collaboration with China-based Yanshu Books. It is not an exaggeration to say that this book would be almost impossible to print in the US. The fabulous editors at Yanshu worked with the printers on this outstanding design, which includes two lenticular prints (the front and back covers). And if you can't wait, see the bundle below.
Author: Toyoya Li
Offset / color / 138 pages / 4.5 x 6.25"
ISBN: 978-1-951078-11-9
$26.95
Beijing-based cartoonist Toyoya Li's first long-form work is a mind-warping journey through a pixelated, dystopic future. After a showdown with Virtual Wizard, will either of our fearless heroes make it back to meatspace? The front and back cover of this book are holographic prints featuring Li's GIFs.
Li Fan (Toyoya) lives in Beijing, where he works as a pixel artist and animator. He is interested in unique and bizarre visual media of all kind, and has a collection of '80s and '90s electronics hardware which serves as inspiration for his work.
