BABELON is a feminist fairytale about the end of the world. Created by the artist/writer team of Grace Hannah Lang and Simon Lazarus Vasta. This 32 page, black and white artist's book mashes up Metal album covers, Underground Comix, and the editorial art of such 18th century greats as Francisco de Goya and William Hogarth, creating a darkly psychedelic vision of the last days of patriarchal oppression and the dawn of a better world.

BABELON includes a three-color, double-sided silk screened dust jacket, printed by Kayrock Studios in Brooklyn, NY. The book was printed by Paper Press Punch in Seattle, WA. If you know anyone who is just sick to their stomach about the state of our fallen world, be sure to pick this one up. Especially if that anyone is you.

 

Babelon is a signed and numbered artist's book published in a limited edition of 250 copies. 

Art by Grace Hannah Lang, words by Simon Lazarus Vasta. Risograph printed in black
