Mechanizoid - Different Drummer: Volume 2

The seventh book in the "Mechanizoid" series is an explosion of incredible imagery. To afficianados of pictorial Fantasy/Sci-Fi art, this does not disappoint.

Multi-media surrealist artist & composer, Ted Ryback, offers up another compilation of infectious Sci-Fi gems with "Mechanizoid: Different Drummer Volume 2" another infused art experiment, which combines his masterful keywords with the eyes of AI. As a musician, Ryback was always told, he "marched to the beat of a different drummer." A phrase that sets him apart from his contemporaries, never following a blueprint used by others. In creating his art, he also chooses the path less traveled. These images are quite stunning, as well as, beautifully frightening.

Being that drums are his first instrument, he wanted to assemble a barrage of 'cyborganic percussionists' that would stun the viewer with its' ecclectic "man meets machine" appearance, while appropriately merging them into the apocalyptic, Mechanizoid environmnt. Always eye opening and never blase', Ryback envisions a detailed and delapidated world, as it's perpetually consumed by technology and deterioration. Much like the music he creates, there will be one more volume to follow, becoming more refined and realistic with each volume. Fans of H.R. Giger, Salvador Dali, M.C. Escher and Frank Frazetta will finally have a reason for collecting again.
