He is a real student of the absurdity of the human race. This book pretty much destroys the veil of arrogance mankind carries. He now reveals his writing talents as well as his art which caught my warped eye and addled brain. After-all; we are one of the newest species on the planet and havent quite realized why we are here. "Asylum Earth" gives one a chance to not worry about matching our socks. I recommend this as fun therapy.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. FantasticBy Karen KochLoved the work. The artist is top of the game and even more interesting when I read about his work.
