This is a book to all miserable ones. To pillow soakers, to those who cry in public, to those who wipe their tears on their sleeves, to those who cry over spilt milk. Inspired by the mass-produced print of the Crying Boy, this title praises vulnerability and the beauty of sadness.

Mariana, the Miserable One, is a Portuguese illustrator working on multiple mediums: from canvas in galleries to walls in buidings, from fashion acessories to international publications. CRYING BOYS is her first illustrated album.
