Tales From Phantom City

Award winning artist and animator Patrick Jenkins has devised a story as affecting as his complex line art. A mixture of film noir and magic realism that explores surrealism and metaphysics through graphic storytelling. A young woman sees a movie called "Naked Angels". What appears to be a film noir is actually a passage through the fourth wall. A game where reality is always in question. Smokey halftones and sumptuous linework are binding elements in a sequence of bizarre twists. A layered vortex of visual delights without linear paths or escape. AUTHOR: Patrick Jenkins is an award winning artist, animator and filmmaker. His films have been shown at film festivals and art galleries around the world. Recently he completed his first graphic novel, Tales From Phantom City. He lives and works in Toronto, Canada.
