Backside of the Moon 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. Everything Shanghai-born visual artist, cartoonist, social media phenomenon, and advertising executive Tango Goa draws has its own expression. His humour is obvious without words and explanation. His doodles have a simple, fluent, and funny style. 

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, Tango's playful line drawings may just help you attain inner peace and tranquility. At the very least they will make you smile.
