  <description><![CDATA[Magic Pony is pleased to present a new book with Canadian art collective Team Macho. <em>Fancy Action Now</em> documents the prolific works of Team Macho over the past three years. Team Macho express a unique attitude toward collaboration, a highly competitive spirit where the very nature of their alliance revolves around thwarting and subverting each other's contributions. <p> With a penchant for humble, unconventional materials like dollar-store watercolours and thrift-shop frames, Team Macho`s work conveys a decidedly unorthodox and individual approach. Exploring several key elements in their artistic process - camaraderie, geeky bravado, the creation of a personal culture laden with absurdity, inside jokes, sabotage, fluorescence, raquetry, and most importantly, fanciness, Fancy Action Now unleashes Team Macho`s true pansy awesomeness. <p> Introduction by Paul Dallas, Dean of Illustration, Ontario College of Art &amp; Design and artists interview with Gary Taxali, award-winning illustrator. <p> 8.5 x 11. 140 pages. Full colour. Over 200 illustrations.</p></p></p>]]></description>

    <body><![CDATA[The damn Canadians have struck again! This 5-piece art collective is pretty spectacular. The art reminds me a little of the Portland Grass Hut style but there's less bigfoot and more garish wrongness. Holy cow, is this good stuff.
