EARLY REFILLS
Written by Tyler McKeel
Artwork by Andrew Holmquist
Risograph printed, 74 pages, perfect bound
First edition of 100
Tyler McKeel’s debut collection of short stories and humorous musings is a celebration of real and imagined worlds in all their outrageous absurdity. Andrew Holmquist’s artwork goes tit for tat in absurd dexterity, stretching the boundaries of the body from head to tip-tapping toe with a playful wink and a nod. Printed in velvety fluorescent pink, teal, and yellow, this book features 29 retina-burning drawings that compliment the whimsically twisted tales within.
Tyler McKeel is a writer based in Northfield, Minnesota. Andrew Holmquist is an artist based in Los Angeles, California. Andrew and Tyler have been friends since childhood, collaborating on several high school musical productions before graduating to book-making in adulthood. This is their third, and longest, artists’ book to date.
