DenCity comic is out, and free to read

Posted byMyfanwy TristramPosted inCartoonsTags:, , ,

I was lucky enough to be picked as one of the contributors to this academic comics project, exploring the concept of crowds around the world.

My strip took inspiration from Nick Cave’s attendance of the king’s coronation, and his own recent writing about what it means to be part of the crowd at one of his concerts.

It involved drawing a lot of crowds! Which I don’t mind, but there really are no shortcuts. Anyway, you can download the comic for free as a PDF here; and if you’re at Thought Bubble this weekend, you can pick up a print copy (also free).

I’m pretty proud of my contribution. While all the others are excellent, I’d also single out Karrie Fransman’s as it displays her usual seemingly effortless and endless invention.
