Future Detective

Our cartoon course assignment this week was to draw something in black and white with a detective, a crime, a motive and a clue. I’d read a tweet from @DoctorVive that said: ‘ok, climate twitter: if you were to create a TV miniseries that foregrounded climate change, what would it look like?’ earlier that dayContinue reading “Future Detective”
