The British Library

As well as Pick Me Up I visited The British Library where at first I did not know what I was going to see but was a bit disappointed when I was told it was called Comics Unmasked. Comic books are not something I particularly enjoy and although I wasn't excited I took it as a chance to learn more about the subject. The whole room was dark and spotlighted articles of old comics however I was freaked out by the models placed in corners of the room with V for Vendetta masks on. This made me paranoid and being claustrophobic having people surrounding me trying to fit in a small apace made me feel a little bit scared.

I did finally find something that I enjoyed and spent over an hour reading a Comic with a friend. We were one of the last people to leave from our group and it was very interesting to read. The comic was sewn but then taken into software to add text and even more imagery that was hard to sew onto the fabric. It gave a new feel to comics and I really lost myself in this one, something I didn't know I could enjoy. Having spent so much time on this one comic I didn't really spend enough time on the rest of the work shown but it was still interesting in ways.

I do feel like I didn't take in very much at this exhibition but I do not think it in the slightest links with my project and therefore isn't something I would do in the future. I also think that because I was not allowed to take photos that I was able to read more of what was going on but makes it hard to reference anything in the future.
