Art Schooled by Jamie Coe

4.0

Canny comic about a "boring" boy's experiences in art school in London. Coming from "the Middle of Nowhere", Dan travels to London to pursue his childhood dream of becoming a painter. Met with an abundance of unusual folk, Dan feels inspired to turn his final project into what he terms as a "comic journal" documenting his experiences of art school. Is is this comic book we now hold in our hands by the talented Jamie Coe? Regardless, Art Schooled is a lighthearted, well-drawn, beautifully coloured comic about growing up, falling in love, and how important it is not to punch someone in the throat.
