The description of my part of HackNight at Utkanten on Saturday:
I’ll be talking about the world of Piracy is Liberation, my cyberpunk postapocalypse series of graphic novels, where I got the idea for the original concept and how it progressed from there. By looking at the story and describing the City where it takes place, I hope to paint a picture of how the comic mirrors the reality of sweden in particular and capitalist society in general. I’d also like to talk a bit about how I’ve handled different story elements, like gender, media and collectivity/individuality when I’ve constructed this fictional world.
I may write something about any of these topics here on the blog during the week, if I’m not busy working on the new book.
In the meantime, here’s a color version of the first image made for Piracy is Liberation 007: Spiders pt. 1:
It is also a Wormgod image and will be available as a print at the upcoming Wall 001 exhibition (when and where that will be remains unknown, so check the site in the near future for more info as it comes).
Just want to insert a “wow” here. I saw the ginormous banner art you hung in the entrance hall at Utkanten. Blew everyone away. Stark raving glamourous.
Thanks.
Thanks a lot! We’re glad you liked it.
