Lure
Jamie Drouin & Lance Austin Olsen
2024
48 page softcover
6.9 x 4.5 inches
$12
A game of cat-and-mouse, both in its narrative and conception, Lure combines the visual talents of Jamie Drouin and Lance Austin Olsen into a wordless graphic novelette, where breadcrumb clues are liberally sprinkled for the viewer to reassemble.
The book was developed by each artist gradually emailing a page for the other to respond to, with the resulting narrative only becoming clear at the end.
Throw Caution to the Wind

If the pulp novel author James M. Cain and the science fiction novelist Philip K. Dick went on a blind date with Weimar artists George Grosz and Max Beckman, after meeting accidentally on the 20th century equivalent of a non-existent Tinderesque social media app, the resulting reverie might somewhat resemble the collaborative experimental book Throw Caution to the Wind. The principal discovery generously shared by this graphic novelette is this tongue in cheek definition: comedy equals tragedy plus time.

Exclusive to special 4-book set
Taking inspiration from mug shot books which, pre-computer age, were the primary tools for police to identify and catalogue those wanted or arrested. Olsen uses this format to push notions of facial representation, reducing the portraits to a handful of gestures and vague categories.
