In this stand-alone, black comedy/psychological horror, a man is tasked with delivering the leader of a cult to an ex-member, with the promise of being reunited with a missing girl. As each layer is pulled back, the nightmare only goes deeper.
"Year of the Rabbit or Little Blue Plastic Flowers" blends my sense of humour with my sense of horror, illustrated in a black & white cartoony style, aimed at mature readers. It explores themes of letting go of the past and shows how obsession can be crippling.
This project was years in the making. The story was originally conceived as a screenplay, but something about it just wasn't working. It wasn't weird enough, and it wasn't funny enough. Because of this, it remained not fully fleshed out. Eventually it was repurposed and reenvisioned as a graphic novel. The 104-page screenplay translated to 235 illustrated pages that took three winters to draw. The next one will be shorter.
