Alternative Comics APOCALYPSE

HEY APATHY! ALTERNATIVE COMICS

An unseen hurricane type blast sweeps across the hordes of faceless little denizens splitting the tomb like tower and heaving it’s top through the sky. The apocalypse was originally a part of the first HEY APATHY! drawing series. The complete environmental installation included over 250 ink works ranging from photo to mural sized. The series featured seemingly infinite skylines filled by grave stone buildings and crowds upon crowds of anonymous dwellers coupled with images of the nuclear type annihilation of the repetitive metropolis. The drawings were originally exhibited at O.C.A.D. in 2001 but this week I am working on completing an animated version of the strangely iconic parable. The picture above is a collection of stills from the new cartoon.  The entire animation, funded by the Ontario Council for the Arts, will be about two minutes or so and feature many of the designs developed in the HEY APATHY! drawings.
