Ojingogo - Matthew Forsythe book launch!!!

Aug 27, 19:30 @ Drawn & Quarterly.
FREE. billets @ you don't need any / t'en auras pas besoin.

Libraire Drawn & Quarterly enthusiastically invites you to come out to Drawn & Quarterly\\\'s newest Petites Livres Launch! We are especially excited as Ojingogo was made with love right here in Montreal, by our very own locally acclaimed Matthew Forsythe. Come out at 7:30 to mingle, and then settle in for an exciting talk by the artist himself at 8 PM.

Ojingogo has been hailed as a debut graphic novel from one of the most promising cartoonists to emerge in recent years. Matthew Forsythe has already been nominated for 2 Eisner Awards for best web comic.

Exuding simplicity in design and narrative, Ojingogo is an illustrated, "Jim Woodring-esque" dreamscape of abstracts and events. The otherworldly pantomime about a girl, her squid, and the creatures and calamities they experience together, is an intrinsically expressive and deeply rewarding journey.

Drawing from Forsythe's Korean influences, Ojingogo is accessible for all ages, tossing aside traditional narrative conventions in favor of creating its own world, language, and rules, in which anyone can find a home of their own.
