Giant Robot is proud to host Paul Hornschemeier and Jay Ryan as they hit the road together in November and December for an extensive book tour to promote their respective new releases, All and Sundry and Animals and Objects In and Out of Water.

Paul Hornschemeier began self-publishing his experimental comics series Sequential in college. Graduating with a degree in Philosophy, he moved to Chicago and began his series Forlorn Funnies, producing the graphic novels Mother, Come Home, The Three Paradoxes, Life with Mr. Dangerous, and the short story and illustration collections Let Us Be Perfectly Clear and All and Sundry. Hornschemeier's work has been translated into multiple languages and won international acclaim and awards, including honors at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. His clients include, Intel, CNN/Mother Industries, the Wall Street Journal, Life magazine, This American Life, Brooks Running, Simon & Schuster, Penguin Books UK, Marvel Entertainment, DC Comics, and Nickelodeon. He currently resides in Chicago, where he is still at work on Forlorn Funnies as well as various illustration, prose, and music projects.

Jay Ryan has been making screen-printed concert posters in Chicago since 1995, and at his own print shop, The Bird Machine, since 1999. Known for his hand-drawn type, humorous animal subjects, and muted color selections, he has worked for thousands of indie bands such as the Melvins, Shellac, Andrew Bird, Fugazi, the Flaming Lips, and the Jesus Lizard, as well as clients like Patagonia Clothing, Converse Shoes, and the BBC. When he's not playing bass in his band, Dianogah, Jay lectures to students and shows his prints at universities and galleries across the US and Europe.

The in-store appearance and book signings by Paul and Jay will take place from 6:00 to 8:00 on Monday, November 16 at Giant Robot New York.
