The journey of
Graphic Airlines
2002 BEGINNING
Graphic Airlines Website
Tat and Vi crossed paths while working at a newspaper company. After their day jobs, Tat took the initiative to launch the website Graphic Airlines to showcase his graphic art alongside Vi's drawings.
G.A.'s first novel, published by Graphic Airlines & Kubrick, was the inception of "Trash Talk" in 2002. This novel gathers early sketches, clay figures, and dolls created over the course of four years.
​
The narrative of "Trash Talk" unfolds in a world overwhelmed by waste. Its inhabitants survive by scavenging from the debris that rains down from the sky. Their existence hinges on consuming whatever scraps they can salvage from the heaps of trash that surround them.
