The End

Assembled from work done in Anders Nilsens sketchbooks over the course of the year following the death of his fiance in 2005 The End is a collection of short strips about loss paralysis waiting and transformation. It is a concept album in different styles a meditation on paying attention an abstracted autobiography and a travelogue reflecting the progress of his struggle to reconcile the great upheaval of a death and finding a new life on the other side. The book blends Nilsens disparate styles from the iconic simplicity and collaged drawings of his Monologues for the Coming Plague to the finely rendered Big Questions.
