A personal art work by Tom Tor, about his journey from Cambodian refugee camp into United States. The book is based on his first English written essay when he was 14. The book was designed entirely by hand using traditional way of letterpress. First editions were sold to United Cambodian Center and renowned painter Francesco Clamente.
Originally based on his archives of his most recent design works, Tom Tor’s ‘House of Cards’ is now available. Enjoy his beauty and design in reconstructing and reformatting his world and yours. TT’s house of cards designed by Tom Tor and exclusively available only at Oneless Act.
Title: TomTor ’s “Everything Is More Complicated Then Visible”, is one of my personal book projects. Copies of this limited edition were printed and screen-printed. It was a difficult project for me because I had to learn bookbinding for the first time and believe me; it is not so easy as it looks. Although it appeared seemingly comprehensible, I was faced with one of the most complex and time consuming challenges of bookmaking, but it was great for me and I liked how it turned out. All I really needed was a little bit of patience. If you are interested and would like to purchase the book, please contact me for more info.
I was commissioned to designed a new typeface call S-21, this typeface provides a distinctive look that affords great variability in its composition. Conceptually, it a modernist typography. However this typeface will be use a upcoming book that I will be designing sometime in the near future. S-21 typeface can be use both display, or text.

TomTor’s Black Clouds was an experimental design book based on the invasion of the Khmer Rouge (the red army) into Cambodia. Using letterpress and copy machine, these pages broke all the rules and discipline of design that I learned from my academic days. This book later inspired me to work on “1975”.

Immediately after making a speech in front of the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland about TT’s poster that celebrated the indigenous peoples, the UN approached Tom Tor with another project. It focused on something close to Tom’s heart, saving Angkor Wat, a historical ruin in his native born country of Cambodia.
At that time, the UN was organizing a fund-raiser in Europe to collect enough money to restore Angkor Wat. The poster’s goal was to target the most difficult to please, the European elite. It was an enormous challenge since they were influenced by the great Swiss grid design, moved by European modern architecture, and appreciated the classical works of typography. The sunset at Angkor Wat served in part as the inspiration, along with Angkor Wat’s three major towers that are most prominent, in which the tallest one was also incorporated into the logotype.
Today Angkor Wat is in the process of being restored. The message of the poster reached countries all over the world. A greater awareness and understanding was conveyed in this project. Henceforth, many countries were moved and immediately asked to join in the effort to restore this significant symbol of Cambodia. With this prize-winning poster, a piece of history will be able to stand once again.
Prevention Child Abuse: I was commissioned to work on this public service advertising campaign poster in order to raise awareness and help prevent child abuse and neglect. The Prevention Child Abuse Association helps children and their families overcome the traumatic effects of child abuse, especially in childhood molestation cases. PCAA also provides educational programs designed to increase awareness of abuse and how to prevent it, as well as, providing case management and other support services to help create strong families and decrease the chances of abuse/neglect.
Debli means ‘Recycle and Re-create’ which is an exhibition of animal inspired art and media. Over 180 artists, who incorporated ‘recycled’, object d’arts, revealed their artistic creative visions, wildly imaginative minds and impressive artistic skills. This revolutionary art tour affirmed Tom Tor’s ongoing commitment to support independent artistic expressions. His creative agencies, with offices in Los Angeles and Tokyo, manifested the possibility of designing to make a difference with the concept of ‘Recycle and Re-create’. Tom Tor, aka Eskimo, was commissioned to be a part of this exhibition and continues to design and develop for the Debli’s official commercial and advertising campaign.

This poster was created for the United Nations campaign, as part of an effort to increase awareness of the danger of existing landmines around the world. The objective was not to simply show the horrifying effects of the explosion or torn body parts, but to express this concern in a poetic way. We wanted to educate the public in a language that even children could understand. This poster was chosen by the United Nations committee as a winner over 1000 posters that were entered in the competition.
An estimated 2.7 million people died in Cambodia from 1975-1979. I was lucky to survive. Everyday I thank God for giving me a second chance at life. This poster is my way of expressing and honoring the thousands of Khmer people who died or were executed in the rice fields. I decided to make this poster as minimal as possible which symbolized this by placing bullets as part of the rice seeds that blossom and letting the poster speak for itself.
