Summer's Children

"Indian artist Anpu Varkey displays such whimsical memories in her latest work – Summer’s Children. Three years in the making, the monochromatic silent comic recollects Varkey’s own childhood memories in rural Kerala, a southern Indian state known for its verdant landscapes. From fish making visible ripples in the water to a coconut falling, Varkey manages to recall and translate to paper these fond memories of nature, all hand drawn in the pointillist method (a technique where small, distinct dots are applied in patterns to form an image). The self-published graphic novel has no words, except a few that illustrate sounds." - Stir
