| LiarTown: The First Four Years 2013-2017 | Sean Tejaratchi | 2019/01/10 | 5 | Feral House, 2017 | “So why buy this book, when much of it is available on the liartown website? The best answer I can give is on the page with ““Sweet love organic ecigs””. On the website, each section of this pamplet is a separate image, bt in the book, the scope and detail of this delightfully weird paody is laid out with each gorgeous detail bright and visible. It’s the details that make Tejaratchi’s work so great and the book, moreso than the website, gave me a chance to linger on those details. Buy this craziness and marvel at the bizarre and unnervingly funny world he created.” |
