GFT: SEEDS Reviewed

cover-smallStop by the site called HolyCr4p and check out the review of GFT:Seeds. The site is dedicated to reviewing independant graphic novels and the like. Check out some of the other reviews while you are there and expand your library.

“It’s surprising how strong an idea of a book’s content you can get from its title alone, and somewhat disturbing how difficult it is shake that initial preconception. Take Grim Furry Tales: Seeds, for instance. This collection of 17 short stories and accompanying journal entries, written by Martin Brandt II and illustrated by an assortment of artists, is not the children’s cartoon-styled escapade that its name might suggest but a sophisticated tale of growing up, and the wonders (and dangers) of imagination.

Though Grim Furry Tales treads the same path as Bill Willingham’s Fables, initially depicting the war on myth, fairy tale and legend as a Lord of the Rings inspired battle between industry and tradition, these short stories are presented in the innovative metaficitonal context of a journal. Imaginative 11 year-old Laurel Matthews finds herself the protector of the Avatars of the Unwaking Lands, guardians of dream and whim sealed within the bodies of stuffed animals. Shifting effortlessly between illustrated prose, sequential art and diary extracts, Seeds is brimming with interesting notions and curious creatures; such as the mind-gobbers, imperceptible imps who feed on idle thoughts.”

Preview Artwork is online!

Here is some preview artwork from one of the stories I am writing. It will be guest starting in Disconnected #3 from OctaneComics.

I like how it goes from retro-look to modern day darkness style.

Discuss it here.
