Description[]
Draw Blood is a 60 page narrative about (secretly) realizing creative expression at work. The story begins with three cartoon characters who emerge from office doodles. They inhabit a confused environment; trapped somewhere between loose subconscious scrawls and hard edged renderings of a medical clinic. Unable to find their place within either medium they search for another setting - a place to call home.
In keeping with the theme of work settings the materials employed are medical office supplies; including things like X-ray films, coffee and found objects.
