San Francisco illustrator and skate culture icon Jeremy Fish created most of the paintings, drawings and screen prints presented in Rome-antic Delusions--part of Drago's 36 Chambers series--while living in Rome, in symbiosis with the city. Fish describes the book as a "word play where reality and fantasy meet."
Jeremy's artwork deals with the relationship of all things cute and odd. His work uses a library of symbols and characters to tell narrative stories about real life in a surreal way. Blending the old with the new, the sweet and approachable.

Mike Giant's signature black ink graphics mix tattoo styles, Mexican folk art and Japanese illustration, and are unmistakable on concrete, paper or skin. The ladies are buxom bong-hitters or multi-limbed Indian goddesses, and the gentlemen carry spray cans or have flames coming out of their heads.
According to Matt Revelli, Editor of Juxtapoz, Giant "has the rare ability to create technical and precise drawings, but also show depth and soul in everything he does. Most precision based artists lack the human side in their work, and it can end up stale, but Mike is able to execute on a whole different level."
