Artificial Flowers by Rachael Smith
Siobhan has left her hometown to try to start a career as an artist in trendy East London. Thanks to the financial support of her family, she's able to have the lifestyle of a successful artist without having ever sold a painting. She desperately needs an exhibition, but no one ever seems particularly interested in her work. When her little brother Chris's destructive, anti-social tendencies resurface, he's sent by his parents to stay with Siobhan as part attempt at rehabilitation, part banishment. As Chris takes out some of his destructive tendencies onto Siobhan's artwork, the two discover a way in which they can help each other; they just need to keep it a secret from their parents, Siobhan's girlfriend, and the London art scene.... This graphic novel is a contemporary story about the frustrations and rewards that come from the ways we choose to express ourselves.
“Witty, touching, charming, poignant and life-affirming… few creators can make you care about their characters, share in their joys and celebrate their triumphs like Rachael Smith doesAnd that is a very special gift indeed.” - Broken Frontier
