The Black Project by Gareth Brookes
Getting yourself a girlfriend is easy, according to Richard. All you need is papier mache, string, soft material, a balloon, some old fashioned bellows, and a good pair of scissors. The difficult bit is keeping her secret. Set in an English suburb in the early 1990s, this is the story of Richard's all-consuming passion for creating 'girls' from household objects. But as his hobby begins to flourish, his real life friendships and family relationships deteriorate.Gareth Brookes attended the Royal College of Art, where he studied printmaking. A Thousand Colored Castles (2017) and The Black Project, which was nominated for an award at the Angoulême International Comics Festival in 2018, are two of his graphic novels. His art has appeared in ArtReview, has been published by Kus, and was featured in the British Library's Comics Unmasked exhibition in 2014. He currently resides in the United Kingdom.
