Life as We Know It

Life as We Know It is a book by Indonesian artist, Emte, initiated 2,5 years ago during the pandemic. This graphic novel captures human’s daily lives; the mundane things often underappreciated in the moment, but deeply missed in a time when human interaction was severely limited.

Emte’s illustrations fill the pages with simple stories of life, as we know it, delivered with a touch of his notorious satirical humour, to remind us that there will always be hope for a better tomorrow.

The artist’s mountainous collection of artworks depicting daily life scenarios became the main voice of all promotional tools. We selected several illustrations to create humorous local puns that the audience can easily relate to.
