Introducing the Myriad Arts of A.T.M.
– The Uncompromising Vision of a Vancouver Underground Artist
Continuing in the tradition of our distinctive art publications,
we are proud to present the first edition of the Myriad Art of A.T.M.,
a visually striking artbook dedicated to the work of Vancouver-based
underground artist A.T.M.
Known for her raw, unapologetic approach,
A.T.M.’s art confronts the structures of mass consumption,
patriarchal values, and social conformity through a lens
that is both rebellious and deeply human.
This book gathers an impressive selection of her most emblematic works
across multiple mediums — drawings, inkworks, collage, emulsion print works,
and sticker art — offering a panoramic view of her ever-evolving creative
universe.
Each piece stands as both personal expression and social commentary,
balancing humor, critique, and chaos in equal measure.
Designed as the most bizarrely entertaining and extraordinary graphic gallery
possible, this book goes beyond the conventions of a typical artbook.
Its non-standard editing and dynamic “mise en valeur” elevate each artwork,
creating an immersive and unpredictable visual experience that mirrors
the artist’s unorthodox vision.
Inside, you will find :
A wide-ranging collection of the artist’s best works, spanning techniques and aesthetics that defy categorization.
Visceral and thought-provoking imagery exploring gender, consumer culture, and the absurdities of modern life.
Experimental design and layout, turning every page into a new confrontation between art, message, and medium.
A glimpse into the underground art scene that thrives beyond galleries and commercial trends.
The Myriad Arts of A.T.M. is not merely a compilation of artworks —
it’s a manifesto in visual form, a playful yet biting critique of the systems
that shape our world.
Bold, chaotic, and unapologetically subversive
this 1st edition invites you into the electric mind
of a true underground artist.

A New Era of Classic Pin-Up with a Unique Twist
Discover a fresh evolution in the art of pin-up with Cedric Lab’s “Pin-Up Art”, an art book that combines the seductive charm of classic pin-up with a new approach to individuality and authenticity.
