Waaaaaayyy back in 2010 we released Diego Bergia’s The LEPOS Bible, which documented Diego’s long-running LEPOS street art project. The LEPOS project defies easy categorization. Spanning multiple genres and media, the story of a lost alien named LEPOS trying to evade his primary colour wielding pursuers is a street art epic that is global in scope.
A book about a project this unique, deserved a unique launch, and so LEPOS: The Primary Invasion was born. What transpired over three days at Magic Pony in Toronto was a form of revisionist and fanciful history that imagined a world where Koyama Press was Koyama Games. In 1995 Koyama Games built a prototype arcade machine that never made it to production. Its star? LEPOS.
Replete with faux arcade tokens, SNES box art and a full-blown arcade cabinet, LEPOS: The Primary Invasion was a look at a time that never was, but will always be remembered fondly.
Fast forward to 2018 and LEPOS is back LEPOS: THE PRIMARY INVASION! This time the intergalactic adventurer LEPOS teams up with graffiti legends REVOK, CES, and GIANT in this limited edition premium publication inspired by 32-bit shoot 'em up arcade classics.
