  • Summary:

    Punk and discipline — these two extremes
    blend seamlessly in the work of Toy_Box,
    a Czech comic book creator whose unique style
    merges influences from graffiti, street art,
    and the DIY aesthetic of the techno scene with
    a deep understanding of literary, film, and art
    history. In no time, she became a key figure
    in 21st‑century comics.

    Now, this award-winning artist presents
    a groundbreaking guidebook for anyone
    interested in this incredible medium, regardless
    of age, expertise, or experience. Drawing on
    her own work and years of leading creative
    workshops, Toy_Box has created a visually
    stunning publication that answers a wide
    range of questions: from choosing an artistic
    style and developing a story to finding time
    for creative work. But her book is more than
    just a manual — it’s also a unique self-portrait
    in comic book form.
