MUTATIONS is a book compiling 78 pencil line drawings from first-class illustrator João Fazenda. This seems to be the first one on a series of self-published books made in between commissions where play and experiment are welcome. Acrobats, birds, boats, cigarettes, couples, explorers, fast food, flying people, hills, holes, people looking at things, rocks, seagulls, shoes, a tennis match, and trees are just some of the things that can be found throughout the pages of this great book.
