Just this week, Yokoyama's newly-released to America (and wordless!) manga, Travel, was named to PW's best comics of 2008 list. When I read it, it really feels like the book was created by an aesthetically empathetic alien possessed by vastly superior sensory organs. Yokoyama has quickly become one of the contemporary artists I'm most fascinated with his experimental and architectural manga is literally like nothing I've ever seen. These pieces of original work were used in planning and production of PictureBox's gorgeous English editions of his work. Recently on the PictureBox site, publisher Dan has shared some incredible original paintings and sketches by New Engineering and Travel author, Yuichi Yokoyama! I'm gonna try to start posting stuff that isn't related the the zine (we'll see how long it lasts, haha).
