The Sweet Rot

'THE SWEET ROT' is an edgy, dark, and twisted illustrated children's book from the mind of New York Punk Rock artist Joe Simko. Dedicating each page to a particular kid, a little rotter, we see their lives in the town of Pollilop Drop. These kids are fierce, pierced, and tatted with 'tude. Their home is a place filled with candy-colored rocks, pierced mushrooms, and malformed mumble bees. The Sweet Rot kids are isolated yet connected. Some are hopeful and some are doubtful. Some even have a twitch of the insanity, but all are endearing and will allure viewers of all ages from child to adult. Poetically written and stunningly beautiful artwork by Simko makes this book a must have.
