This weeks project shoot was with Apocalipstick… Based around the legendary comic character Tank Girl, she drives a tank which is also her home. She undertakes a series of missions for a nebulous organisation before making a serious mistake and being declared an outlaw for her sexual inclinations and her substance abuse. The comic centres on her misadventures with her boyfriend, Booga, a mutant kangaroo. The comic’s style was heavily influenced by punk visual art, and strips were frequently deeply disorganised, anarchic, absurdist, and psychedelic. The strip features various elements with origins in surrealist techniques, fanzines, collage,cut-up technique, stream of consciousness, and meta-fiction, with very little regard or interest for conventional plot or committed narrative.
