Four stars out of five mikedoeseverything Kinda really good. I like that you can never really see the main character's face. I've never really seen that done before. And then there's the stuff about walking from one place to another--Patrick Kyle does something really cool in this book with that. The landlord character is ultra-mint. Yes, there's even a Simpsons bit it is super meta but in a really cool sort of (not-really-that-meta) way. I didn't think I would like the book. I only bought it because it was . A beautiful meditation on time Sam the Sham A beautiful meditation on time, space, bodies & technology. It's often abstract but propulsive and coherent. It's philosophical but avoids navel-gazing-stoner tropes while still not taking itself too seriously. Some of the most readable, least self-conscious, warmest "art comics" on paper.. "Conceptual, but not overly cerebral." according to lily groot. Black and white is a great medium for Kyle's work, and each page stands as a well-balanced visually pleasing piece of art by itself. How long it takes you to read it is really up to you, but I found it to be a nice quick, meditative read. You can see their modernist influences in the work. As much of a piece of art as a readable comic book.
He is the co-founder and editor of Wowee Zonk, a contemporary comic book anthology featuring up-and-coming international artists. He has been previously nominated for Doug Wright and Ignatz awards for his comic book series Black Mass and Distance Mover.. Looking for an inexpensive live/work space, an anonymous character settles on a supernatural apartment that has a seemingly unlimited number of identical rooms and manifests distracting illusions and other psychological hurdles. The story unfolds in vignettes that voyeuristically document the character’s domestic activities in an increasingly disorienting environment.Patrick Kyle lives and works in Toronto, Ontario
