Description
O U T S I D E is a product of our times, a cacophony of contradiction perfectly captured in paper and ink. It is grotesque, yet beautiful. It is old, yet brand new. It is completely dead yet so very alive. It is both totally and utterly mad, while being the only sane response to the world we live in.
And while it might look like it was specifically designed to offend the current powers that be, it is not. Instead it is here, simply to give voice to those who have been excluded. To those who’d rather not enter into the algorithmic exegesis of our age.
But would rather remain…
