The above image is from my cancelled 2001 graphic novel project, Deep Night. It was originally intended to be a picture book with no words – no dialogue, no words in the illustrations, no title or author mentioned anywhere on it, nothing. I completed several pages of it and had plenty of grand ideas, such as themed visuals, but I never got round to finishing it and it was eventually discontinued.Ah well. Maybe someone out there likes seemingly drug-induced drawings featuring heads on springs with arms coming out of them. And weird-looking clowns.
hi pete, i think this wouldve been quite interesting!! it is very unique to me , and it can be like people looking at it with no words to read and using their imaginations of what they see going on. example : people would like to imagine what they want to be happening when they are viewing it, i know im a big imaginator about alot !!! :) so i would have love to see more of your ideas of this kind of picture book and im really sure others wouldve love it also.
ReplyDeleteThanks Amy, glad you like it! I would have liked to have finished this too, even though several people told me it would be worth a lot less as a story if there were no words. Leaving the words out would encourage people to use their imaginations more!
