TAPPY release party with Nou

Floating World Comics 1223 Lloyd Center, Portland, OR, United States

We are excited to host a book release party and art exhibit with NOU for her new book TAPPY. The book signing will be followed by a live performance by her rap duo YS. In Tappy, rumination on love, loneliness, and loss are spoken in dialogue between characters from children’s cartoons, taken from early Walt Disney and Ralph Bakshi character designs. Addressing existentialism and solitude through the mouths of nostalgic cartoon characters, Portland based artist Nou juxtaposes the ease of existing in a happier time while confronting the inevitable malaise that plagues adult life. 2-color Risograph printed booklet in Red and Yellow.
