Astrapets

By John Freeman on October 31, 2006

I’ll put something up on the main site later, but just received two fab books from artist Bambos Georgiou, the first of his Astrapets collection.

Aimed at all ages, both The Great Space Chase and Dangerous Games are great fun: I particularly like the Betelgusian Beatniks and the fact that the Astrapets can’t find anything for humans to do.

Charming, witty and wonderfully drawn, check out Bambos’ site at www.astrapets.com… You can buy both books from www.smalllzone.co.uk
