Chinese Death Star

Victo Ngai

I did the cover of the New York Times Sunday Review yesterday. The article is about the aggressive global push of China’s state-capitalism and the fear of China’s world domination. You can read the article here.

AD Aviva gave me the great suggestion of maybe having an image “dominating” the page, instead of being boxed in a rectangle.

After a couple round of sketches, we agreed that having the Great Wall expanding and covering the entire globe was the best solution for this article as it also relates to the Chinese investing in building dams and infrastructure all over the world. 

During the inking stage, I thought, why not also make the extending walls  look like monstrous testicles? Then my boyfriend Kyle walked by and said “Your drew a Chinese Death Star!” I am okay with that. 

Many thanks again to the wonderful Aviva and the NYTimes!

Does anyone else see a giant octopus??

A parody, but still relevant to the interests of this Tumblr, I think.

Forget the new film!  Watch this trailer from a 1926 version of The Great Gatsby, it’s the only footage that remains because the film itself is lost.

I want a pipe. But not to smoke. Just to have.

Poor Haircut, left at my parents’ house. 

Edit: that’s supposed to be us jumping The Grand Canyon and in California those are supposed to be convertibles on surf boards.
