Graphic Narratives

Manu Fly to the Sea is a work of creative graphic non-fiction being written and drawn into life. It's produced chapter by chapter in zine form, installed in open studio settings for engagement and via tabling at comic conventions. A later iteration will be as a complete work in book form with accompanying video animations.
