Graphic Novel Continued...

Well, I'm not sure if you would call my graphic novel a story, or a novel for that matter, but it is certainly graphic. There's no real story or narrative, it's more of a "picture book"; a series of abstract illustrations portraying some of Hong Kong's best known attractions.

For a way of linking all the images together, I’ve called the book; “The Story Of The Flying Star Ferry”. A star ferry is a popular way of travelling across Victoria Harbour in Hong Kong.

Anyway, you don’t actually get to see the flying star ferry, but it’s as though the imagery is seen through the ferry’s eyes as it travels. This flying ferry ideas stems from the psychedelic/fantasy-style approach I’ve taken with the main focus being on pattern and colour. I chose this approach based on the fact that Hong Kong is a very colourful place with lots of patterns.

So here is a link to the final book:

Graphic Novel

A short and sweet post about my graphic novel on Hong Kong.

More details on the story itself will follow in the coming days, but for now, I'll just say it's very abstract and visually psychedelic...
