Markosia is pleased to announce its latest graphic novel release!
Stuff That Happened Vol 2: Home & Away…
Volume one of ‘Stuff that Happened’ was published in 2017, it was a collection of comic ages about events that happened in 2013-2014 to the artist Vicky Stonebridge. This Graphic Novel picks up the threads around four years later and takes the form of a diary covering the year 2018. In the days before Covid19 and the massive changes that the pandemic brought, Vicky was enjoying weekend trips, life in the highlands, working at her pottery studio and adventures with her animals and family.
This book started as a travel diary when Vicky had and overwhelming ‘mid-life crisis’ style impulse to do some traveling, she went to Austria on a working break to assist a lively family at their homestead and ceramics studio for ten days. Upon her return from this trip, the diary continued. A compulsion to make sense out of a life woven with many threads. It still continues.
Volume 2 covers some difficult life changes, menopause, mental health, family stuff, trauma and recovery, chronic and acute health issues, including hospital admissions. The seasons come and go in te remote West Highland village where Vicky lives, partner, poultry, pets, garden and pottery form the backdrop to a slowing down and middle aged autobiographical chronological, hastily scribbled during moments in-between all the ‘stuff that happened’.
Written and illustrated by Vicky Stonebridge, Stuff That Happened Vol 2: Home & Away… is out now and available from the links on our website:
