Yet this is no soap opera! It is a dreamy science fiction fantasy -- a twisted story of catfights, alien safari adventures, evil experimentation, and a girl in love with a pop idol singer.

A collection of new, astounding drawings by artist Laurie Lipton. Laurie Lipton draws on canvases that are improbably large, using only pencil and charcoal. The images she renders present our modern world in scathing critique. This new book features her latest meticulous drawings. The artwork is part of three ongoing series entitled Techno Rococo, Post Truth, and May You Live in Interesting Times.
