Pigeon Comic - In progress

Here are the first 10 pages of a new comic I've been working on lately. No tone laid down yet, it's all ink line and pencil still.

Text:

I work primarily with drawing, painting and text. Using influences drawn from; literature, cinema, the visual arts, graphic novels and philosophy, I create dreamlike sequences. Drawings allow me to work quickly and freely. My relationship to drawing is such that I can work without preciousness and thus quickly refine the imagery I’m using.

The imagery I use is fantastical. I use the term fantastical, in relation to the genre attached to Angela Carter’s writing; Fantastical Realism. This genre uses dream logic and fairytale imagery juxtaposed with recognisable or daily events, in order to explore and expose a deeper truth. Similarly I use a combination of text and image in an attempt to explore my own relationship with the world and the truths presented to me.

I like to work with sequences in order to generate a narrative and a dialogue between images. The raw/handmade look of the work helps keep it ‘alive’; thus leaving it open to interrogation.

Not the best Artists Statement, but the work went down well.
