Temporama

17x23 n(...)brow

17x23 © 2010 is a new graphic short story project designed to help talented young graphic novelists tell their stories in a manageable and economic format. The hope is that, while the series encourages artists to write one off stories, 17x23 can act as a springboard for more ambitious projects.

Clayton junior hails from curitiba, Brazil, a place otherwise known as 'pine-nut land'.

Aside from probably eating the occasional pesto, he spent much of his youth drawing comics about the Paris Dakar rally and voraciously consuming print, comics and commercial art in all its forms. A self-confessed illustration fan-boy, he is equally possessing of talent, humility and a keen sense for telling great stories with a minimalism and elegance that would be the envy of any self respecting danish product designer.

Temporama takes place in a city where, like any concrete jungle, technology favours the privileged, and nature is quarantined like a virus. A silent picture story told during one night of primal urges and strange happenings, temporama is a beautifully simple tale told in Clayton's trademark bold graphic style.
