Popsandbox is releasing their second graphic novel The Next Day on May 3rd. (Their first book was the highly acclaimed Kenk: A Graphic Portrait.)

The launch is Tuesday, May 3rd at the National Film Board Mediatheque (150 John St. in Toronto). Come check it out!

One of the great things about this project is it is illustrated by John Porcellino and from the pieces that I have seen he has done a beautiful job.

The Next Day is a ground-breaking print graphic novel and a separate interactive animated online documentary, both constructed from interviews with survivors of near-fatal suicide attempts. In this poetic and profound philosophical exploration, four seemingly ordinary people each offer haunting insight into life, the decision to end it, and what comes after…

Phono d’enfant has created some new music for the animated documentary website to be ready in the near future.
