The Creature Inside - A Self-portrait

My memory fell into someone else's hands I cannot determine it any longer"

-Giorgos Chimonas, "Doctor Ineotis"

​

The Creature Inside is a short story about the trip down the rabbit hole one has to make at the critical point of absolute loss of self- awareness. It derives from the feeling of absence of history which now of all times is more evident than ever. This 9-pages comic works as an autoportrait at the verge of change and metamorphosis.

Inspired by the many mangas and webtoons that have triggered my will to make art as a kid and have inspired my designs ever since.
