A new chapter in the extraordinary and unorthodox career of the artist known as Skinner. Take a vibrant, neon tour through the travels, shows, experiments, friends, and strange career of an American visionary freak. Skinner's wild, graphic explorations take form in multiple media, expanding the self-reflective narratives and myths that have defined his oeuvre. Skinner's unusual path has taken him beyond the traditional routes of many artists, and this book documents his journey-into-the-unknown. This journey, which has come to define his career, puts zero limits on where his creativity will take him--venturing into world-building concepts in film, animation, music videos, and writing. In addition to his fine art, Skinner has seen success in many commercial avenues with identification bumps for Adult Swim, live projections for the band Mastodon, and the experimental art show "Drawing with Skinner" on Super Deluxe. Won't you come along?

In 2001, at the age of only 22, the virtually unknown Mike Skinner was signed for a five album record deal. Since then, Mike Skinner has won a worldwide reputation for fusing home-grown hip-hop with the proud British tradition of observational song writing, which stretches from The Beatles and The Kinks to Blur and the Arctic Monkeys.

Alternating between spells of reckless indulgence and sardonic commentary on his own excesses, Mike Skinner has established the kind of instan...
