Adrift on a Painted Sea #[nn]
A genuinely distinctive entry in the 2024 Avery Hill catalogue, *Adrift on a Painted Sea* brings together writer-artist Tim Bird and painter Sue Bird for something that feels less like a typical graphic novel and more like a meditation in motion. Sue Bird's cover — a richly textured oil-painted coastal scene of rocky shoreline, calm green-grey water, and a distant headland — sets a quietly contemplative tone that immediately signals this is something to savour slowly. If the cover's loose, expressive brushwork is any indication of what's inside, this collaboration promises a genuinely atmospheric experience.
