I don’t know what the world will be like when I’m two years into a project, so all I can do is just put the book out. Do you think about or realize how impactful your work can be on a reader?īoydell: I don’t really think about how people are going to react to my work, since I’m too far inside of it, I can’t really ‘get’ it. MFR: 920London was a very therapeutic read for me with the chaos and massive loss of life of COVID-19.

The book is also a bit of a callback to the UK tv series ‘Skins,’ which is pretty nostalgic for me. What are your influences that brought 920London to life?īoydell: This was the first time I’ve gone outside of a square panel format for a whole book, so I wrestled with paneling, and re-read a lot from Asano Inio. MFR: For me, your book has a bit of a Trainspotting feel to it. I also tracked down one of the original artists that I remembered loving from back in the day on Deviantart (a Chilean artist who goes by Paroro), and it felt great to reminisce. I was happy to get Jorden Haley on board for the book’s title/logo I liked his design work for Mindless Self Indulgence. Hopefully, the book stands on its own though.īy the time it was finished, a couple of things had happened which made it feel like it had come ‘full circle,’ so I felt I’d made the right choices. MFR: Did you need to make 920London, or did you want to make this book?īoydell: I think I was definitely pretty depressed when I started! At the same time, I realized I could tap into something by working from the things that I originally fully loved around 2005. This is not my typical read, but the characters grew on me, and by the end, I was emersed in their universe. COVID-19 has turned the world on its head, and this book reflects on 90% of the emotions you are going through right now. Send help.ĩ20London is a perfect read for anyone at this time. More than friends, less than lovers, they’re trying to grow shrooms before the world ends.
