Hexie Hao

Hexie Hao, literally harmony, is the graphic story of a journey across China to the soundtrack of the constant, crazy rhythm of eponymous trains. By the window, daydreaming for hours, I saw the miles of countryside rolling by, speckled by thousands of inhabited blocks.

Vancouver’s Conspicuous Commuter Train System

Some years ago, I got a big, wrapped box under my family’s lavishly-decorated pine tree. It was a German model train set, gauge TT. The 1/120 scale model set is an incredibly detailed representation of the real thing, rolling on DC-powered tracks, fed through a transformer directly from a 220-volt wall outlet.
