Guest artist series

Romantimech originated from a happy accident. When artist Yujin Choo first heard the title of William Gibson's seminal cyberpunk novel Neuromancer, she assumed the term was actually "New Romancer". Intrigued by the seemingly divergent themes of mechs and romance, she created Romantimech, which tells the story of two very different robots: a benevolent android desperately trying to protect a young child and a menacing hunter robot who's hot on their trail.
