Death of the Artist
Reviewed by Reuben Roache-Dubois
On the 13th of August, graphic novelist Karrie Fansman invited four old friends from university to an isolated cottage on the misty moors of the Peak District to join her for a week of hedonism and creativitiy. Like Shelley and Byron before them, they would use the retreat to tell stories. Except these would be comics, collected together in one book. Five stories, all centered around the one theme; "Death of the Artist".
None of them realised how appropriate the theme would become.
The book weaves a single narrative across watercolour, digital art, photography, collage and illustration, exploring the themes of creation, destruction, and how we kill our inner artists as we grow up.
As Piccaso once said, "we are all born artists but the question is how to remain one".
