    About this ebook

    The first book by Shanghai-born visual artist, cartoonist, social media phenomenon, and advertising executive Tango to be published in the United States, MADITATION is a brilliantly tongue-in-cheek dissection of the everyday insanities of 21st-century urban living--and a witty guide to how to keep one's calm in the midst of the craziness. Tango's doodles have a simple, fluent, and funny style. His humor is obvious without words and explanation. Everything he draws has its own expression. Even air has a shape and a piece of bread can be a protagonist. Tango celebrates finding joy and surprise in our daily life. No matter how small we are and how frustrating life can be, we shall endeavor to feel “alive." Tango's playful line drawings may just help you attain inner peace and tranquility--but at the very least they will make you smile.
