XX: A Novel, Graphic

This is the title of a forthcoming book by Rian Hughes and also a talk (via Zoom) which is being hosted by the St Bride Foundation on September 2nd.

‘Brilliant, exciting, absorbing and mind-blowing... a perfect work of art about what it means to be human in a world of gigantic ideas’ Grant Morrison

Rian Hughes is a graphic designer, illustrator, comic artist, writer and typographer who has worked extensively for the British and American advertising, music and comic book industries. Rian has designed new fonts, curated old ones, drawn illustrations and diagrams and taken photographs to graphically enhance the narrative of his book, XX: A Novel, Graphic. These are supplemented by redacted NASA reports, artwork, magazine articles, secret transcripts, and a novel within the novel called Ascension .

In this talk he will give an insight into his explorations that led to his creation of the book to tell a story like no other...
