Mechanizoid - Different Drummer : Volume 3

The eighth 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 the final compilation of infectious Sci-Fi gems with "Mechanizoid: Different Drummer Volume 3" another infused art experiment, which combines his colorful 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 defines him. It 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" aesthetic, while appropriately merging them into the apocalyptic, Mechanizoid environment. Always eye opening and never ordinary, Ryback envisions a detailed and delapidated world, as it's perpetually consumed by technology and rampant deterioration. Much like the ever changing music he creates, each volume becomes more refined, detailed and annihilistic. Fans of H.R. Giger, Salvador Dali, M.C. Escher and Frank Frazetta will finally have a reason for collecting again.
