Charles Burns



Charles Burns' drawings have a unique comic style that stand out from others. 'Black Hole' is one of his most famous set of comics. The comics follow a group of mostly middle class teenagers who contract a mysterious sexually transmitted disease known as "the Bug" or "the teen plague", which causes them to develop bizarre unique physical mutations. After researching the comics I found that they are very original, Charles Burns has created a unique comic series and Burns has said that the mutations can be read as a metaphor for adolescence, sexual awakening and the transition into adulthood.

David Shrigley


David Shrigley's animation of 'Who I Am and What I Want' (voiced by Kevin Eldon) is an unforgettable animation consisting of scribbles of disturbing but comical events of a character's life. It shows us how no matter how sketchy or bad you think your work might be, something good can come from it, even if it is just a line drawing with little detail.
