Abstract Comics 
This is a call out to creators of abstract comics who want to share their work with other like-minded people. Abstract comics are wordless abstract books, mini-comics zines and wall-hung artworks that use comics conventions to present abstract subject matter across a series of panels and pages with the intention of creating a narrative rhythm, rather than an identifiable story. They came to my attention when I found the seminal book Abstract Comics: the Anthology by Andrei Molotiu (2009).I was captivated that I had found a host of new luminaries that I could appreciate and admire. If you are another abstract comics artist please make yourself known through the Abstract Comics Blog http://abstractcomics.blogspot.com.  Happily the number of women abstract comics artists is steadily increasing, so come join this global phenomenon.
Kym Tabulo is the author of The Drift of Impure Thoughts - an abstract Graphic Novel (2014) and What Would Paul Klee Say – an abstract comics book (2016) at https://abstractsequentialart.com.

The Intercorstal: 683 (Kickstarter launch)

A few months ago I posted a sequence of images from 'The Intercorstal: 683', an anthology comic, albeit with ever page completed by me. I've just launched a Kickstarter campaign to get it printed, which can be found here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/grthink/the-intercorstal-683

I'm incredibly proud of '683', and early reaction from proof readers and reviewers has been really positive. Here's a few of the preview pages, from sequences 1, 3 and 5 respectively.
