DRAWN TO KEY WEST by THERESA CHIECHI

ONLINE ARCHIVE

Chiechi has produced a 200-page graphic novel exploring the magic behind Mallory Square. From anchorage to attraction, this small Gulfside spot holds a strange draw which Chiechi explores through interviews and colorful sketches.

This exhibition will show large-scale images of each step of the comic-making process, from thumbnail sketches, rough pencil sketches, inked pages and finally to final colored comic pages. The exhibit will highlight the steps made before even making any artwork, including reference photos taken around the island and at Mallory Square, sketchbook drawings, and interview questions.

Work can be browsed online or in person at 533 Eaton Street (open Tue-Sat, 10am-4pm).
