Mosquitoes And Other Monsters

Genesis Conroy rising from the dead after being raped and murdered by a contracted killer. She can smell his rotting-dog smell.

Nandia (Genesis Conroy) trekked with David Powers (the killer) and I about a quarter of a mile down a logging trail on my grandmother’s property.  The mosquitoes were out in full-force.  She had shorts and a tank top on and was wrapped in a muddy, ripped, wet sheet.

 

Poor girl.

 

She later counted the bites and said there were more than 30 individual bites.  When David and I were burying her, we were going to stop, but she asked for more dirt because the mosquitoes couldn’t bite her wherever there was some dirt.  It made for good images anyways, so we obliged.

 

And, in the end, I only used the images I got from the march as trim.  Oh, but how beautiful that trim is!

Thank You

Pages 4 – 7, No Tears For The Darkness, a photo-graphic novel by Benjamin Graeme Hartford

Welcome To New Beaumont City

New Beaumont City was born of an image. A city that is decaying from the inside. The mayor is trying to help the city any way he can. But he is also trying to help himself.

Genny Conroy is devoured by the city.

Welcome to my vision of New Beaumont City. My name is Benjamin Graeme Hartford and I am the author, photographer and graphic designer of this photo-graphic novel. Others have tried this genre. But they have sucked at it. Most people take crappy pictures, maximize the edges and call it a day. I set out to make art in every aspect. I had some trouble with my actor-models so that finished product you see before you is not my final vision.

It is my hope that you will read this photo-graphic novel and come to love it as much as I have. If we can generate some support for it, we will continue on.

Please enjoy your stay.
