Description

Backside of the Moon is a brilliantly tongue-in-cheek dissection of the everyday insanities of 21st-century urban living and a witty guide to how to keep one's calm in the midst of the craziness. Everything Shanghai-born visual artist, cartoonist, social media phenomenon, and advertising executive Tango Goa draws has its own expression. His humour is obvious without words and explanation. His doodles have a simple, fluent, and funny style.

Even air has a shape and a piece of bread can be a protagonist. Tango celebrates finding joy and surprise in our daily life no matter how small we are and how frustrating life can be, Tango's playful line drawings may just help you attain inner peace and tranquility. At the very least they will make you smile.

Reviews

"Already a star with a significant social following in China, the cartoonist known by the moniker Tango is now showcasing his talents all over the world. His simplistic, but thought-provoking drawings are often humorous, and capture the oddities of modern life. A self-described visual storyteller, his work is intended to make stress-out salaried folk see the primitive beauty of our existence." -- No.3 Magazine
"Tango makes some simply clever comics which would surprise you to the moon and back!"--Storypick
"Handling the humor of everyday situations with his clairvoyant mind and simple lines, Tangos works bring audiences laughter and joy."--SinoVision, English
