From the inside page:
"This is a collection of photos shot at the end of 2016 and early 2017. I have the need to say that it was shot on 35mm Tri-X film, and it is also a restart of my film photography work which began in 1986 until around 1996 when my entirety of camera gear was burglarized. Of course I used film for the earlier days of Giant Robot, but those were quick jobs and often not memorable. With digital photography and cellphones being so easy to use, I never thought I'd go back to film. My favorite subjects are starting to become evident, and there are days when I shoot a lot and then there are weeks in between touching the camera. I'll admit I've witnessed plenty of moments pass by and that's how it goes."
-Eric Nakamura, 2019
*SIGNED!* 24 Minutes to Bedtime! by Daniel Kwan illustrated by Felicia Chiao
Hardcover, 64 pages, 8.75 x 12 inches.
This edition includes a signed bookplate by Felicia Chiao!
Written by Everything Everywhere All at Once director Daniel Kwan, 24 Minutes to Bedtime! brings the multiverse to the bedtime story, illustrated by the wonderfully talented Felicia Chiao, one of Giant Robot's absolute favorites.
Illustrated by Felicia Chiao, the story follows Winston, who invents a time machine that allows him to time jump around his house, narrowly avoiding his increasingly agitated parents and their efforts to brush his teeth, change his PJs, and just tuck him into bed already. Everything goes smoothly until Winston encounters alternate versions of himself in alternate timelines, forcing him to confront his choices head on.
20 km/h - Woshibai
Softcover, 376 pages, 5.3 x 7.1 inches.
A slow-motion drive-by view of a collapsing universe meant to sit in the palm of your hand
How fast can you go in a buggy drawn by the flap of a butterfly’s wings? How do you measure the speed of waking from a dream? Such abstract inquiries into the unrelenting absurdity of contemporary life make up this omnibus of meditative vignettes from one of mainland China’s most prolific and recognizable—yet anonymous—new underground cartoonists of the current generation.
Every story in 20 km/h toes the line between pun and poetry, and lands somewhere just short of a zen koan: come back to it as often as you like, it will never quite read the same way twice. A nondescript figure awakes from an assembly line of identically-fashioned companions and boards a rowboat destined for the unknown. A man holds the key to sleep in his hand and uses it to disappear into his mattress. The moon is plucked from the sky and fed into a vending machine for a can of soda.
Woshibai’s minimalist renderings are a startlingly delightful cocktail of existential dread and silent slapstick that arrest the mind’s eye with equal parts humor and grace.
