In this uniquely beautiful wordless art book/graphic novel, a working-class family struggles to make ends meet and raise their children in a relentless world of economic challenges. The story of Walking Shadows is told through full-page woodcut engravings. Each page is a hyper-detailed Expressionist work of Social Realism suitable for framing and can be enjoyed both as graphic novel narrative and as a gift of impeccable art.
Neil Bousfield is a professional printmaker, animator, and teacher whose work has been exhibited throughout the UK. His engravings reflect his interest in social concerns and the use of visual art to convey a narrative story. This is his first book.
