Talking To Strangers

Press Release: Talking To Strangers

A girl trapped in a box, a boy chained to a rock and a friendship between a child and a flower. These are just a few of the themes that storyteller Fehed Said explores in this collection. Joining Fehed Said, the acclaimed writer behind SLG's Clarence Principle, and Sonia Leong, the award winning artist behind SMH's Romeo & Juliet is a sterling lineup of the UK's best new talent. Featuring artwork from Nana Li, Wing Yun Man, Chloe Citrine and Faye Yong.

"It was such a varied mix of stories" says Said. "When I was trying to come up with the title for the book, I wanted to find a connection between them all. Evidently, the critical moments in each piece came up as the protagonist's talked with strangers."

Nana Li was the artist for 'Box', and sums up that story as: "It's a short and dark story, but I think the ending will leave a tingling sensation in the spine." The same could certainly be said about the reading experience of this title. From the morbid fairy-tale style 'Malignant' and the sweetness of 'Flowers'; this anthology showcases a variety in storytelling and artistic talent.

Due for release on 24th October 2009 at the London MCM Expo and available to buy online from the Sweatdrop Studios website -

A non verbal press release with distorted perspective. MOAR.

Would this be a reference to flowers wanting to return to the countryside or something?

Emma · 07-09-2009, 10:06 AM

You're so very sly XD
You with your art farty press releases

Looking forward to it!

PaulB · 07-09-2009, 10:49 AM

I have no idea what this is - but it looks good!

Irina · 07-09-2009, 04:03 PM

Wow, clever promotion ^^

PalmtopTiger · 07-09-2009, 04:35 PM

Maybe the distorted scene is from the viewpoint of a Alcoholic, who has drunk too much vodka after a Saturday night, and has gotten himself lost? Now the guy embarks on an epic world spanning adventure to find a taxi - presumably visiting a onsen along the way, and powering up to 9000.

Seriously though I love the scene.

Mimi · 07-09-2009, 05:09 PM

Hmm, most mysterious this is.

comicbook-girl · 07-09-2009, 05:56 PM
