“Art of the Waste is a gift to fans of Roy Huteson Stewart. His work on Aleister Crowley: Wandering the Waste appears here in its naked and colourful glory, at turns minimalistic or mind-bogglingly intricate, multimedia or impressionistic. A magician never reveals their secrets, but Art if the Waste gives us a glimpse of the visual magick that animates Aleister Crowley’s life story.”

In 2009 Roy Huteson Stewart set out on an expedition into unknown realms to chronicle the life and times of the so-called “wickedest man in the world.” His artwork for what would become the graphic novel Aleister Crowley: Wandering the Waste is now collected in its truest, rawest form.

Here are the pencils, inks, and collages depicting all the glorious filth and splendour of a life lived at the extreme limits of human knowledge and sanity. Truly an art book to savour.

“Roy’s beautiful and evocative artwork collected all in one book is a very, very good thing indeed. A truly unique artistic talent, this book is sure to inspire.”
