laneydesigns - Untitled Graphic Novel Project

Here is a project that tests my ability to rapidly and precisely express written words through a cleverly loose yet focused storyboard. The story, with whom I have collaborated on with my friend Matt, is about two young people relentless in their quest to find meaning in their seemingly meaningless, small town lives. This initial take on the subject matter is whimsical while still retaining a sense of impending doom. Like Lake Michigan, the site at which the story takes place, the characters of the story are unpredictable, and as such, are portrayed through purposefully shaky line and gesture.
