Incomplete

In 2019 I made an artist book for the first year of my BA. I was really in to using textures (I still am to be honest) and found objects at the time so I made an A4 size zine full of photos and collage.

I got a bunch of them printed then just sorta forgot about them because COVID happened so I wasn’t able to go to any cons or zine fairs to sell them. Recently they’ve been added to my table at events and on reflection I still really like them. I’d like to make more stuff like it in the future.

This is almost a spiritual prequel to This Comic Hasn’t Actually Got a Title Yet (the final outcome for my MA)

Here’s some spreads from it.

Recently I’ve been experimenting with an idea for the book I’m working on for my MA.

The idea, in its current state, is a story revolving around a round a group of friends (who happen to be animals) exploring they’re local punk scene together. Maybe they form a band? I dunno. Either the way the book will heavily feature the crossover between punk and queer culture and sitting outside of societal norms.

Visually I’m playing around with a collage look, using photos printed on drafting film layered on top of one another. Over the next few weeks I’ll be working on a comic to decide how viable that is for a long form project.

Could I just replicate that effect on photoshop? Of course. But that’s not nearly as fun and I want to be more hands on with this project rather than it being solely screen based.
