offal


2-3 years ago a handful of artists (myself included) decided to collaborate on a project that would be as much a storytelling challenge as an artistic one. The idea was that each artist would get one page to do, the only constraint would be that he would have to pick up where the previous page left off. There would be no overall plot structure of any kind, the story could go in any direction the individual artist wanted as long as it's beginning was the ending of the previous page. I thought (and still do) this was one of the best ideas I had heard of in a long time and was very excited to be a part of it. Well, as most things in life go, the Grand Idea was quickly overwhelmed by life's other responsibilities. Deadlines, paying work (none of us would be getting paid for this, money only possibly realised if we could compile it as a book), and other distractions proved to be too much and the project died after only 4 pages. I'm posting the page I did for the project. Pencils/inks/lettering and what passes for dialogue all done by little ol' me.
