Famed for his chromatic illustrations that hold folds of narrative, Jahan Loh has collected a list of enticing imagery in a tome titled Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. Aptly finding commonality between East and West and fine art versus street art, the Singaporean artist delivers 242 pages of flamboyant visuals enlisting neo pop girls and intergalactic heroes as accomplices in his work. Alongside the dreamscape of characters and pop culture rendering captions illustrating Loh’s creative process. A genre-defying piece to say the least, Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth is now available from BooksActually at $68 USD.
