The Intercorstal: Extension

My next comic is being officially launched at Catford Comics and Zine Fest in London on the 9th December 2018, and is also available for pre-order (and also just normal order, if you're reading this later than 9th December) from grthink.bigcartel.com

It's a 25 double-page spreads, created by drawing extra content out from the centre of 25 existing pages. On to those spreads I've added text, invoking a haunted dream. I've put a lot into this, so I'm hoping that others will like it once it's out.

Here's a couple of sample pages:

"Matthew Goes to an Art Fair," an entry badge comic, by Matthew Collings and Mark Staff Brandl



While this is not actually an Abstract Comic, it so "odd" that I suspect it fits best here. I made a comic-object, a rather "meta-" object in fact, for a show in New York City. I want to do more Object-Comics. I hopüe to soon.

The is an entry-badges comic  object I made with the great London critic, author and artist Matthew Collings. It was on display now in CENTRAL BOOKING Art Space in NYC. This is a vertical version made for ease of scrolling on internet. (and Emma Biggs and I also make quick walk-ons!)

Becasue of the difficulty in adapting it to vertical scrolling, and so i do not take up endless room on the blog, it is best viewed here: http://www.markstaffbrandl.com/artfairbadges.html



I hope you enjoy it.

Found Forest Raw - free download

Last July the abstract graphic novel that I made with the poet Erik Blagsvedt came out -- it was called Found Forest Floor and was a 250 page mix of my art work and his poetry. (you can get a copy here, if you're interested: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1548861669/ref=cm_sw_su_dp)

As a companion to that book, and also as a standalone comic, I've put together 'Found Forest Raw' which is made up of the more traditional comics pages that I made at the start of the project but for the most part got abandoned. I really like most of them, so am sharing it as wide as I can.
