HEY APATHY! ONLINE COMIC PAGE FOUR


HEY APATHY ONLINE COMIC PAGE FOUR: After discussing the issue with the ghost of a dead musician, the young artist decides to explore his visions through a series of india ink drawings. After completing the initial investigation, the anti -hero exhibits the artworks at the college. Along with the large pen and ink installation a small set of comic books is set out like bait for unsuspecting audiences.

This montage depicts the time of my life between Dec 2000-March 2001. Working exclusively with hand made bamboo pens and black india ink on white paper, I created over 30 small cityscapes and 6 large ink drawings. The artworks were divided between meticulous gravelike cities and sparatic premonitions of the apocalypse. I exhibited these works at the O.C.A.D. Drawing & Painting Showcase in March 2001 accompanied by three short comic books. These comics contained explicit and horrific metaphors about deception, dedication, and decapitation. I put the books in a small container with a donation bin and left them at the exhibit. Although the experiment was not particularily lucrative, over 300 copies of the magazines were distributed during the two week event. I'm going to re-publish these comics as the next few pages of the online adventure
