A Brief Illustrated History of Famous Wizards by Michael C. Hsiung

"Michael C. Hsiung is a Chinese/Taiwanese all American handlebar moustache magician born from the bewilderness of Chinatown, Los Angeles. He now lives in Pasadena, scratching out a living drawing bong dropping centaurs and inebriated extinct mermen.

Hsiung’s oeuvre is eclectic, myth-illogical psychedelic fantasy with a hint of the rustic traditional, often on wheels. It sets out to explore the wild edge of mythos, pathos, tacos, anthropomorphism and contemporary gender identity issues in magic unrealism. He often gets distracted drawing armies of portly wizards and well groomed alcoholic mermen and refuses to justify them.

He’s inspired by low cost colouring books and comics where things turn into other things and/or explode into fireballs, stars and rainbows. Born on the anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo, he takes himself about as seriously as a tea cosy and has the keen commercial instincts of a retired circus animal."
