Grand Crew is Tom Crago’s second book, and a different trip entirely to his business memoir Flashbacks from the Flow Zone. Tom mostly makes videogames at his Melbourne-based studio Tantalus, where he works on titles like The Legend of Zelda and Age of Empires. His virtual reality artwork, Materials, was acquired by the National Gallery of Victoria for its permanent collection after featuring in the inaugural Triennial exhibition. With a PhD in art and philosophy from the University of Melbourne, Tom is more a wine lover than an expert. You’ll find the wines featured in this book in his cellar. Which is also where you’ll find Tom.
