The art of Karrie Fransman

Partially broadcast 10th March 2011 on Resonance 104.4 FM

Extract from The Night I lost my love by Karrie Fransman, originally printed in The Times

Continuing our month of shows looking at newspaper comics, Alex Fitch talks to cartoonist Karrie Fransman about her work which has been serialised in The Guardian and The Times. Karrie started her comics career making self published autobiographical titles and these transferred to the G2 in 2008 as a weekly strip followed by a more ambitious David Lynch inspired full page comic in Times2 a year later. Alex and Karrie talk about all these projects as well as her mentoring of interns at the London Print Studio and her forthcoming graphic novel The House that Groaned being published by Random House.
