Riassunto

"Like a cuddly Trojan horse, Chueh's work is pretty on the outside, but nice and macabre on the inside": so says Entertainment Weekly of LA-based artist Luke Chueh.

Employing minimal color schemes, simple animal characters, and a seemingly endless list of ill-fated situations, Chueh has enjoyed cult acclaim and sell-out shows, making this, his first book, an eagerly awaited one.

It mashes up, creatively and brilliantly, items from pop culture with everyday; and I love it. --A113 Animation
