An Artist at the End of the World

Mot Tuman's graphic novel concept, 'An Artist at the End of the World', is a fictional story of the perpetually anxious college student, Ashley. While many fantasize about the wondrous powers that come from the ability to lucid dream, Ash has learned first hand that lucid dreaming doesn't stop the worries of the day from following you into the night. After a traumatic event causes Ash to lose all ability to control her conscious dreams, she begins to have a series of fantastical dreams about faceless attackers and the end of the world. This graphic novel follows Ash’s journey as she struggles with her waking dream to be an animator, and her night-time dream to stop the end of the world.
